DESCRIPTION:

In this pseudo-sequel to his masterpiece THE BLOOD DRINKERS, director Gerry de Leon (TERROR IS A MAN, BRIDES OF BLOOD) delves even deeper into themes of lust, guilt, faith and redemption within an aristocratic family cursed by vampirism. But this time, he adds rich gothic dollops of torture, incest, carnal depravity and blackface that "oozes sexual menace, brims with potent cultural metaphors and makes for unusually hypnotic viewing" (Senses Of Cinema). Amalia Fuentes (THE BLOOD DRINKERS) and Eddie Garcia (BEAST OF BLOOD) star in this "artfully executed vampire chiller" (Blu-ray. Com) - also released as WHISPER TO THE WIND, BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRES and CREATURES OF EVIL - from "The Father of Philippine Horror" (DVD Drive-In) and now scanned in 2K from the only surviving film elements. Review "Serious gothic vampire territory... Gerry de Leon creates a well-mixed blend of angst, revulsion and horror. --Digitally Obsessed About the Actor Ben Feleo was born on January 24, 1926 in Quezon City, Philippines as Benjamin Feleo Sr. He was a writer and director, known for Hanggang sa kurtinang bakal (1966), Tusong Twosome (2001) and Adiong Untouchable (1964).
