Review

"Count Yorga - Vampire (originally conceived as a soft-core porn film entitled The Loves of Count Iorga) is a nifty little low-budget exploitation effort that uses its resources to good effect. The shocks are crude but effective. Although relatively tame by later standards, the gore has a nasty edge to it, underlining the film's cynical sensibility and downbeat ending... [it] survives on the strength of its title performance and on the inventiveness of its approach to modern day vampirism. Yorga may not be a very refined film, but it packs a lot of attitude, and there's no denying that the surprise ending is like a wicked little punch in the face." - Steve Biodrowski, Cinefantastique
