Review
"This interesting West German vampire movie was released in its native country in 1964 as The Curse of the Green Eyes, and in the UK as Cave of the Living Dead... The movie is surprisingly light-hearted at times, not unlike the tone of Rialto's krimi films of the era, but it also manages to be fairly atmospheric, making good use of the dark streets and its small-town setting. And it invents some intriguing bits of vampire lore of its own — for example, a vampire attack always causes a localized power outage, which effects not only homes and businesses, but automobiles and flashlights as well." - Michael Popham, The Horror Incorporated Project
