qmtv This was a decent and different vampire film. Not great, but entertaining. I must have missed something in the translation. I did not understand how the vampire became. And maybe they should have thrown in a few other scenes outside the house. Other than that, I thought the script was intelligent. There was a lot of information in the dialogue and actions of the characters. The actors did a fine job. At the end the girlfriend didn't question the heir. She did not see the vampire but went along with it. So, there are holes in the script. But given the production with the acting, dialogue, cinematography, editing, music, this film definitely builds atmosphere.Rating is a B, or 7 stars. 10 stars given for loser reviews

brandon-stocks The "Horrible Sexy Vampire" is not sexy and not a vampire in the traditional sense. OK, I guess he is kind of handsome for an albino Pole, but he doesn't drink blood; he strangles people to death. There is not one drop of blood drank, or spilled, in this movie. Wtf kind of vampire movie is that? The original Spanish title "El Vampiro de la Autopista" translates to "The Vampire of the Highway" which makes no more sense. A better name for the movie might be "The Murderous Phantom" or "The Perverse Undead".The "Sexy" part of the title probably refers to the number of attractive women who who their breasts in the movie, particularly red heads. The fiend really has a thing for red heads. There are a couple more unusual things about this movie: the fiend kills many police detectives, and he has the power of invisibility.The movie is just police detectives getting strangled, half nude women getting strangled, and atmospheric scenes with Count Oblinski getting black-out-drunk alone in his ancestral mansion. I won't say its a horrible movie, but its a blood-free movie with "Vampire" in the title and its slow in parts. It strikes me as the kind of movie people were meant to make-out too.

Ben Larson Wal Davis and Ada Tauler have appeared in several Jesus Franco films, many of the same ones. It causes one to suspect that the director, José Luis Madrid, may just be another name that Franco uses.This is not a Franco film. There is no blood as the vampire chokes his victims. Even though it is not Franco, there is no shortage of big naturals, as the vampire only attacks when the women are undressed. It is also unusual in the fact that he chokes, rather than the usual biting on the neck.You don't have to be a vampire completeist to enjoy the film. Just enjoy the victims, some of whom do not appear in any other film.

Lee Eisenberg "El vampiro de la autopista" (called "The Horrible Sexy Vampire" in English) is mostly what we would expect from any Euro-horror flick from the early '70s, namely the women who exist only to strip, shower and get killed. What I can't understand is why the vampire strangles people instead of directly drinking their blood (or why he tells his descendant to stop him). As long as we just accept that this movie has basically no purpose accept to teach hot women not to remove their clothes - which itself presupposes that horny men are watching so as to see their big breasts - then it's a pretty fun flick. But not much else (maybe it would have been a little neater had it starred Paul Naschy). I actually got to watch a version dubbed in English with Dutch subtitles. Go figure!
