Loreta Tovar in NIGHT OF THE SORCERERS/LA NOCHE DE LOS BRUJOS Year: 1973 Rating: ***1/2

Spanish director Amando de Ossorio brings back THE LORELEY'S GRASP flirtatious schoolgirl Loreta Tovar as a safari photographer in NIGHT OF THE SORCERERS... and while she was the last hot ingenue to be attacked there, here she's the present-time first girl, making the reliable mistake of wandering out alone...

Beginning with gorgeous red-haired missionary Bárbara Rey killed by an African native zombie tribe in 1910, we cut to modern times where Loreta Tovar's part of a safari including another gorgeous blonde María Kosty, coveted by handsome guide Simón Andreu's voluptuous brunette girlfriend Kali Hansa...

Basically, SORCERERS is a body-count proto-slasher more than vampire horror flick... mostly involving bitten Tovar and her original biter Rey running scantily-clad though slow-motion day-for-night b-movie lighting...

And at the sparse 90-minute run-time, by the time the tension picks up, resilient final girl Kali Hansa isn't given enough time, despite her perfectly-fitting cat-woman countenance within the bongo-beating-with-wah-wah-guitar-backed Spanish-shot jungle setting... keeping this surreal-dream from becoming the full-blown exotic nightmare it deserves.
