Plot
The film centers on Richard Fountain, an Oxford don who has fallen under the influence of a mysterious Greek girl and her suspicious associates. Fountain's friends visit Greece to get him back and notice that wherever he has been a number of murders have taken place. They find their friend under the spell of a beautiful vampire, whose blood-sucking methods include the use of S&M sex. Believing that they have killed her, the group return to Great Britain, unaware that their friend is now a vampire.

Production
Shooting took place in part in Greece and Cyprus. Money ran out during production causing filming to halt in the spring of 1969; it resumed later on. This involved writing of new scenes with new actors and a new director. Robert Hartford-Davies, the original director, subsequently disowned the movie.[2]
