"Lake of Dracula" from Tohei (not Toho) is one of my guilty pleasures, or would be if i felt that i should feel guilty for liking it. I suppose Japanese vampire movies are a fairly niche market, and anyone who wants the blood-drenched Gothicisms of a Hammer horror may feel a little short-changed by this more lyrical approach: a noteworthy Nipponese nosferatu.
Little Akiko goes in search of her dog when he runs off on the beach; after following the elusive hound through a tunnel, she finds a cottage in the woods straight out of a Brothers Grimm fairytale, which is inhabited by a golden-eyed vampire. Years later, an all grown up Akiko must confront the vampire when he begins preying upon her friends and neighbours for their blood.
Haiku review?
This one is quite a good
Vampire film.
