Synopsis
Vampire Circus (1972) is a British Hammer horror you can watch online on iFILM. Director Robert Young drops the viewer into a remote 19th-century village cursed by the bloodthirsty Count Mitterhouse, slain years earlier by the townsfolk he preyed upon.
Fifteen years on, plague grips the village, the roads are sealed, and a travelling circus rolls in out of nowhere. Its performers are no ordinary entertainers: a black panther becomes a gypsy, bats become acrobatic twins, and every act inches the dead Count closer to rising again. The price is the blood of the killers' children. The colorful troupe features Adrienne Corri, Lalla Ward and a very young Anthony Higgins.
For its era the film was startlingly bold — sensual, vividly gory, soaked in a feverish carnival dread. Today it's prized as one of the strangest gems of late Hammer Gothic. Made for fans of old-school horror with imagination and not a frame of CGI. Stream Vampire Circus (1972) online on iFILM.
