424. Lemora - A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973)

November 17, 2014

After breaking out of prison, a hardened criminal unwittingly flees into the cold, dead hands of a bunch of vampires. Taking advantage of the situation, the lead vampire, Lemora, sends a letter to the criminal's daughter, Lila Lee, the beloved young girl with the singing voice of an angel. The letter explains that her father is gravely ill and he is sorry for all the wrongs he has done and would like to see her before it is too late, and that if she wishes to see him before he dies she should come visit him. Lila desperately tries to get to her father, but Lemora has other plans for her which are never fully revealed. When Lila discovers the truth about Lemora and the other strange inhabitants of the town, she tries to escape but is unsuccessful. She finds her father has begun turning into one of the monstrous vampire creatures and is forced to kill him. Lemora offers her comfort and turns her into one of them. It was a strange movie that didn't always make a whole lot of sense, but was still very interesting. I would recommend it to fans of 'Valerie and Her Week of Wonders', although I still prefer Valerie.
