10 Best Vampire Horror Movies You've Never Heard Of
7. The Blood Spattered Bride (1972)
Many great vampire movies lean into the psychological rather than the physical - dreams over blood and gore, mood over violence - but few are capable of blending the two better than The Blood Spattered Bride, a Gothic melodrama of resounding power.
Based on the novel by Sheridan Le Fanu, The Blood Spattered Bride concerns young wife Susan (Maribel Martin) after she moves to her husband's family mansion, where a vampiric stalker and ghostly visions begin to plague her every waking day, until finally her mysterious new world collides with her reality.
Blood-soaked and disturbingly erotic, Vincente Aranda's tale is a shocking and horrible dive into obsession, patriarchal hierarchies, sex and vengeance, culminating in a murderous finale that you'll find difficult to shake.
