The Velvet Vampire (1971)

New World Pictures
Directed by Stephanie Rothman
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Shout Factory)

A young married couple at an LA art gallery take up an offer from a complete stranger to visit her remote desert ranch. The husband is quickly seduced by the woman while his pretty wife watches. Bodies eventually start turning up and the wife figures out that the woman is really a vampire. It ends with a boring chase from the desert, on a Greyhound bus and into the streets of LA where hippies with crosses save her. Mild concoction is more interested in sex and nudity than the horror angle, and somehow I just don't find the desert setting complements a vampire story.
