What do you think of this effort in Hammer trying to sex up their vampire films?

Talking Pictures TV stick this on quite a bit. It's a bit on the trashy side but can be fun if you're in the mood for it. Tits and fangs. The story's basically Camilla stuck in a girls school with some writer who's got it bad for her. The "Strange Love" song played whilst they're having it off is both weird and laughable, she even goes boss-eyed and clutches at the grass at one point. Still Yutte Stensgaard.was pretty nice to look at...
She could've sat on my Chopper any day....

Jimmy Sangster produced some great scripts for Hammer, but sadly his directorial efforts were mediocre at best.
Hammer pushing the lesbian angle they started with The Vampire Lovers.
Pretty turgid this one and that song Strange Love is truly awful, but the sex scene in which it appears is absolutely hysterical as GC has noted.

Yutte Stensgaard was in a episode of On The Buses - 'The New Uniforms', playing a Swedish tourist. Going to rewatch Lust For A Vampire later today. Meanwhile, look at this super cool Italian poster:

Still Yutte Stensgaard was pretty nice to look at... You take her, I'll take Suzanna Leigh. I had a huge fanboy crush on her back in the 1960s and '70s.

Rather meh. Nowhere near as good as Vampire Lovers.

My old review:
Lust For A Vampire is easily the worst of the Karnstein trilogy and although not without a few interesting moments, it's a rather dull, cheap looking Hammer film. We see the return of Mircalla from 'The Vampire Lovers' but alas, without Ingrid Pitt to reprise the role - instead she's played by Danish beauty Yutte Stensgaard, who simply isn't as good. Ralph Bates is great as the creepy Giles Barton and Michael Johnston plays the writer Richard LeStrange, who reminds me a bit of a less-camp Jason King.
'Lust For A Vampire' features a rather laughable sex scene, with an insipid pop song playing in the background ('Strange Love' by Tracy) while Mircalla expresses her passion by pulling a truly comical O Face.
Not very scary at all and not really worth your time, unless you're desperate to see topless women.

That’s an excellent review Future-Diver that pretty much sums the film up.

Maybe I was just a little too harsh on Lust For A Vampire - Yutte Stensgaard really was a stunner and alone was worth the price of admission, even if Ralph Bates described Lust as "one of the worst films ever made".
