In a large attack the castle is stormed, the vampires are mercilessly hunted, in turn tortured and driven to finish off the remaining zombies into the sea. The nightmare is shaken off. But Jonathan should not get away with his life also. On the beach, he is killed by a girl. You saved his life the only one from the enemy camp.
Criticism
" H. W. Geissendörfer enriched in his first feature film the Dracula genre with not only a pronounced art -obsessed photography, but also with political overtones. Fighting the fine company of the " undead " often acts as a macabre allusion to the student protests of 1968 Unfortunately, came this interesting attempt against the will of the director only in a reworked version in the rental. "
" The interesting color film of a young German debutants, who represents the controversial thesis of the denunciation of violence by blatant depiction of violence. Despite the shocking, the idea of the filmmaker alternate end to the head circuit: for adult movie friends very worthy of discussion. "
