Summary: Calling Doctor Levin...
Review: A beautiful exotic dancer named Jeanette Moreneau (Susanne Loret) is disfigured in a car wreck after her boyfriend Pierre breaks up with her. Jeanette is later visited in the hospital by a mysterious woman named Monique, who tells her of a doctor who can repair her scarred face. Jeanette goes to the doctors home and is subjected to injections of his "Derma-28" serum (derived from human glands). Professor Levin (Albert Lupo), as he is called, is of course, a mad scientist experimenting with radiation and various chemical concoctions in his basement lab. He manages to cure Jeanette and fall deeply in lust with her, sending Monique into a jealous depression. Unfortunately, Derma-28's healing effects are only temporary, causing Prof. Levin to seek fresh glands from living (soon to be dead) female victims. Levin kills Monique and tells police she had a bad heart. Levin feels bad after his first murder, so he digs up an older serum called "Derma-25", which has the effect of turning him into a hideous beast, and injects himself with it. Now the killing can really get started! Meanwhile, Pierre realizes what a great thing he had going, and sets out to find Jeanette. Loaded with cheesy action and lots of mad science, ATOM AGE VAMPIRE is a masterpiece of schlocky horror! Check it out at once...

Summary: You say half BAD, I say half GOOD
Review: For the record, this flick has a little of the visual flavor of a Twilight Zone episode, Way Out, or even Alfred Hitchcock Presents, if that turns you on. The sets are spare, and the photography intermittently "choice" & rather pedestrian black & white. All in all, it is about as atmospheric as the budget allowed. (It may help put you in the proper mood to imagine yourself making a horror feature in a few days, on sets you can only use at night, after the real owners have gone home. Under such circumstances, the fact that the makers had any kind of product at all to show is amazing.) Work with it.

Summary: CHEESY CAMP HORROR WITH GREAT ITALIAN SCORE
Review: If your idea of a good time is watching badly dubbed actors run around and scream "Pierre!" and "Jeanette!!" in nighties and trenchcoats, or ogling the mad scientist's assistant who looks like a lesbian Betty Paige in cat-eye glasses, or reveling in dialogue like "I know this project means the world to you, Professor!", then "Atom Age Vampire" may be your cup of tea. The Grade Z Franco-Italian import does contain a lovely score by Armando Travioli that was, unfortunately, never released. Also has a wonderful title sequence where a bat turns into a "V".

Summary: Alpha's Atom Age Vampire
Review: The Alpha Video Copy of Atom Age Vampire is a short version and runs 68.8 min on my DVD player (running time on cover lists 87 min), so the storyline is sometimes a little bit confusing due to some cuts. Picture quality is not very crisp, the audiotrack has a sort of overlay, a tone in the background, not very loud but permanent. For me it's okay for 8 bucks, it's fun to watch, but don't expect a quality better than a rather bad video tape.
