Title: Cushing never gives less than his best, but...
Product review: Argh. Don't waste your time on this dud. It was made by Tigon, the studio that occupied third place to Hammer and Amicus in the British horror genre of the '60s. They turned out some fairly good films, but this one's lamentable. The only things I enjoyed about it were Peter Cushing, who never turned out a bad performance, and the curious casting of Robert Flemyng -- it wasn't great acting, but his natural bug-eyed features provided an ironic point of interest. The main vampire is a giant moth played unconvincingly by a stuntman in a cape. After a series of murders, Cushing identifies a handful of what look like oversized moth scales, and being a great detective, instantly solves the case: "I think the Doctor has created a giant moth." Well, obviously.
