La orgía nocturna de los vampiros

Plot synopsis:
Seven very tired passengers -- Ernesto [Indio González], Godo [Luis Ciges], Cesar [David Aller], Marcos [Manuel de Blas], Alma [Dianik Zurakowska],
Raquel [Charo Soriano], and Raquel's eight year old daughter Violet [Sarita Gil] -- are traveling by
bus to Bojoni (filmed in Spain) where they have secured jobs working for
an aristocratic family. Suddenly, the bus driver suffers a heart attack.
After moving the dead driver to the back of the bus, Ernesto takes the
wheel. When a road sign indicates that Bojoni is 110 Km, while the town of
Tolnia is only 10 Km, the group decides to get dinner and lodging for the
night in Tolnia before continuing to Bojoni in the morning. When they
arrive in Tolnia, however, there is not a soul to be seen, except for
Luis [Jack Taylor], an American traveler who arrived in Tolnia about an hour ago and has
been walking around the village looking for someone...anyone.The fire in the village tavern is warm and the shelves are stocked
with liquor, so the travelers help themselves and decide to rest in the
inn's bedrooms while Ernesto stays in the tavern in case someone shows up.
As the hours pass and the clock strikes midnight, Ernesto goes out to
check on the bus and discovers that the dead driver is missing. As he
walks around the village looking for the driver, Ernesto is attacked by
some ghoulish villagers intent on drinking his blood.In the morning, the travelers awaken to a breakfast of rolls and hot
coffee. All the villagers have returned, including "Major" Boris [José Guardiola], the
village mayor. The Major apologizes and explains that the villagers were
at the cemetery yesterday, paying their respects to a recently-deceased,
but well-loved, villager. The Major graciously extends the village's
hospitality to the travelers, even serving them a delicious roast before
they leave for Bojoni. Unfortunately, when they go to leave, the bus won't
start. Danged if Luis's car has the same problem. Looks like they'll have
to stay on for a few days until they can get help from Bojoni. Marcos
makes it clear that they don't have the money to pay for their food and
keep, but the Major assures them that they will be taken care of
comfortably by the Countess. And so they are. Every day, they are served
luscious meat dishes. What they don't know is that the Countess [Helga Liné] has
ordered that various villagers give up parts of their body in order to
feed the visitors.The Countess, like everyone else in the village, is very eager to
have the travelers remain in town for a few days, enjoying the village's
hospitality at her expense. She is so thrilled at having "persons who get
around" that she invites Cesar, the well-read professor, to remain at her
house that evening in order to recite to her from the works of
Shakespeare, Browning, and O'Neill. Part of her hospitality includes
taking Cesar to her bed, but she's not after sex; it's Cesar's blood she
wants. After drinking her fill, the Countess tosses his body over the
veranda to the hungry villagers below.Meanwhile, back at the tavern, Luis is busying himself peeping on
Alma through a hole he discovered in his wardrobe. Marcos and Godo are
summoned by Ernesto to see something in the bus but fall prey to the
vampires. The next morning, Luis notices that the bus is missing, begins
to get suspicious, and starts planning out a means of escape. Violet is
playing hide-and-seek with a boy [Fernando Romero] she has befriended when she witnesses the
arm of the ax grinder being chopped off, but she says nothing. A nice
dinner is served that evening, but Alma is very upset when she finds a
finger on her plate. A bit later, Raquel tells Violet to stay in their
room while she goes to talk with Marcos, but Violet's boy friend persuades
her to come out and play anyway. He leads her into the cemetery. When the
vampires come out, he tries to hide Violet but ends up smothering her.
Raquel has returned to her room and found Violet missing, so she goes
looking for her daughter. Unfortunately for Raquel, she encounters the
villagers, along with Cesar, Ernesto, Godo, and Marcos, who fall prey upon
her.That night, Luis and Alma make their escape. Of course, they are
pursued by the village people, but they finally manage to make it to
Bojoni. The Bojoni police cannot find Tolnia on the map, but they drive
back with Luis and Alma to check out their claim. Lo and behold, there is
nothing there, except for the wrecked bus. [Original Synopsis by bj_kuehl.]

Review:
The driver has a fulminating heart attack, and the group decides to drive to the near village of Tolnio instead, to spend the night and follow to Bojoni on the next morning.
I particularly liked the scenes where meat is served to the hosts; the death of the little girl; the finger in the food of Alma; the vampires chasing the car with Louis and Alma; and the beautiful breasts of Dyanik Zurakowska, with marks of bikini.
A busload of people off to work in a remote castle have to stop in a small village because their bus driver died.
The story in itself is not original but the film is very atmospheric with an isolated mountain village in Spain being a fresh and interesting location.
Reminiscent of Piero Regnoli's THE PLAYGIRLS AND THE VAMPIRE and Jean Brismee's THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE, Leon Klimovsky's THE VAMPIRES' NIGHT ORGY finds a busload of disparate characters stranded in the middle of a desolate Carpathian countryside and forced to rely on the kindness of strangers...
Eschewing fangwork and the usual Gothic trappings of the vampire mythos, Klimovsky and his screenwriters (Antonio Fos had co-written Eloy de la Iglesia's CANNIBAL MAN and CLOCKWORK TERROR) return to European folklore to present shabby, homely revenants whose attacks, while relatively bloodless, effectively communicate a vibe of disgust and dread.Rounding out the stellar international cast is American expatriate actor Jack Taylor (recently seen in Roman Polanski's THE NINTH GATE), Dianik Zurakowska (CAULDRON OF BLOOD, THE HANGING WOMAN), Manuel de Blas (ASSIGNMENT: TERROR, THE HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE), Luis Ciges (HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB, VENGEANCE OF THE ZOMBIES and Pedro Almodovar's LABYRINTH OF PASSION) and Fernando Bilbao (FANGS OF THE LIVING DEAD, DRACULA PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN).Known mostly for war films and westerns, the Argentina-born Leon Klimovsky directed THE VAMPIRES' NIGHT ORGY during a period of exclusive horror filmmaking, which included the popular Paul Naschy vehicles THE WEREWOLF VS.
Atmospheric and creepy tale of a group of travellers whose coach is diverted to the uncharted Spanish village of Tonia, where the locals disappear at night and emerge later as something other than human.
A mysterious Countess (Line) and her off-sider, the town's unofficial mayor (Guardiola) try to convince the travellers to stay in town and enjoy their hospitality, boasting the best "roast" in the region - as another reviewer remarked, 'finger-lickin' good - the origins of which are somewhat dubious to say the least.Impressive sets and locations really depict a sense of isolation, and the quaint town and its characters are all effectively drawn in spite of some bizarre sub-plots.
The scene in which she passively seduces one of the weary travellers is great erotic-horror.Plenty of little oddities to capture the imagination, despite the ungainly title, Klimovsky's film is well-paced, intelligently scripted and very entertaining.
"Vampires' Night Orgy" is about a group of travellers who find themselves in a village inhabited by bloodthirsty vampires.The decaying and highly atmospheric village is called Tolnia.Everything seems to be black,grey or brown-filled with morbid aura death and gloom.Jack Taylor makes for a reliably sleazy leading man while Dyanik Zurakowska and Helga Liné are both strikingly hot.Some of the scenes where the villagers seem to emerge from the cracks in the walls to slowly engulf their victims evoke memories of the "Blind Dead" series.The only drawback is the jazzy background music which is very annoying.Overall,if you are a fan of 70's Eurohorror give this stylish entertainer a look.7 orgies out of 10..
When their driver has a heart attack, a busload of tourists find themselves stranded in a strange, out of the way village.
Cheeky little number involving a bus load of folks hired for some far off job travelling the Spanish countryside when their bus driver has a heart attack and dies.
Problem is, the travellers haven't figured it out yet.While not overflowing with gore or nudity (although it has a bit of both), this one is quite well paced for a Spanish horror film and has a nice creepy atmosphere throughout.
There's a ghostly kid who hangs out with a travelling kid, the countess who seduces one of the bus party, and the whole thing reminded me a bit of Messiah of Evil, what with the entire town turning up and silently descending on the victims.
There's also a bit of humour, what with the vampire with axe having to villagers to 'donate' body parts.As with most Spanish films, I have no idea if this is cut or notbut it's a good 'un.
Of course, one of the main problems with the film is the title I watched it under which is The Vampire's Night Orgy which kind of removes any mystery qualities this film may of had.
What kills this movie is they do not really address any of this, which means the makers of the film brought stuff up they would never really explain which is going to detract points from me.The story has a bus load of people headed for a town where they are apparently going to be working at a mansion or something.
The bus driver dies from a heart attack and the group drives to a nearer town to figure out what to do and to rest.
Something dark is going on though, and it may be already too late for the group of stranded travelers.It had its moments, but I did not care for the fact that so many things the film brought up were never addressed.
These vampires are violent - this is a horror film and not a porn movie.
Nothing much, and what it does often incoherent.Some summaries tell us that the people of the village are all vampires, and yet there seems to be a class of indigenous victim, three of whom are injured in the movie.
"A busload of travelers must stop in a small European village after their bus driver suffers a heart attack.
Eventually, the travelers uncover the truth behind their hosts and find they have stumbled upon a village inhabited by vampires," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.From Spain, this "Vampire's Night Orgy" does not deliver the goods; although, it has a fairly nice start, and a few good scenes.
And, certainly, NONE of it needs explaining after the movie's inexplicable ending.*** La orgía nocturna de los vampiros (1973) León Klimovsky ~ Jack Taylor, Dyanik Zurakowska, José Guardiola.
The biggest hook for this movie is the opportunity to see Dyanik Zurakowska.Directed by León Klimovsky, who did two of Paul Naschy's werewolf films, the film includes many horror veterans in the cast.Now, if you tourist bus breaks down, and the town where you are stranded offers to put you up for free, and gives you spending money to boot, you might do well to head out on your feet very fast.
Don't get your hopes up though, 'cos the title certainly isn't referring to a heaving mass of nekkidness featuring some top Euro-crumpet: the best this film can offer in terms of nudity is a brief topless scene from blonde babe Dyanik Zurakowska.
I can only guess the title was intended to refer to an orgy of violence, but although there is plenty of death in the film, it's also very disappointing, with very little in the way of gore.Fans of dodgy Euro-horror might get a kick out of the use of a completely incongruous jazzy score, and the sight of a vampire that bears a passing resemblance to camp 70s TV detective Jason King made me giggle a bit, but other than that there is very little about this lame Brigadoon/2000 Maniacs-inspired tosh that would make me recommend it, other than as a possible cure for insomnia.3.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to 4 for IMDb..
This 1970's Euro Horror Vampire Flick is Pretty Bad. When it come to these 1960's and 70's Euro horror films where a busload of tourists wind up stranded in a creepy Gothic setting, I am usually right along for the ride.
None of the passengers seem too disturbed by the events, save for one pretty lady who asks a fellow passenger for a cigarette to calm her nerves.Anyway, they wind up at a town where the vampire residents mysteriously all disappear sometimes at night and sometimes during the day.
The town is run by "The Countess" played by one of my favorite Euro- horror actresses, Helga Line.
Add to all this some pretty bad acting, terrible dubbing, sloppy edits, and an atrocious soundtrack that sounds more like it was made for one of those goofy British 60's sex-comedies than a Gothic horror film - mix them all together and you have the sloppy "Vampires Night Orgy".
A town full of vampires and this is all the film-makers could come up with?
As a matter of fact, this movie does not look and feel at all like a vampire flick.
They are all pretty much the same in style, story, characters and settings but they just aren't as skilfully and originally done as its Italian counterparts.You could even call this movie a bit of a bore, since basically very little interesting is happening, horror-wise, in its first 20 minutes.
Despite the fact that they are now carrying a man's dead body, the remaining tourists decide to forego their journey in order to follow a road sign to a nearby village, in hopes of finding some food and a hotel where they can sleep.Don't expect it to make a whole lot of sense.
Even though nobody's around, they help themselves to the booze and the beds, forgetting all about the corpse in their tour bus.One boozy guy stays up alone, nodding off at one of the tables while drinking the local wine, and when he stumbles out into the streets at midnight, he's attacked by the vampire Welcome Wagon.As one would expect from a movie titled "Vampire's Night Orgy", our heroes have stumbled upon a nest of bloodsuckers, helmed by a vampire known as "the Countess".
In one of the movies more grotesque plot points, the vampires are faced with the predicament of a lack of meat to serve to the travelers, so they solve the problem by hacking off the limbs of various villagers (vampire?
who knows?) and serving them up as dinner.Additionally, the Countess decides to get a little action from one of the guys in the traveling party, insisting that he stay behind with her to recite Shakespeare while the others go back to the Inn.
The vampire attacks are also eerie in their own right, avoiding most of the usual fangs-in-the-neck business and having the villagers attack the travelers by descending on them en masse, fixing their mouths over any body part like hungry dogs.Like I said...it won't make any sense, but it's not a disappointing film in the least.
"Cannibalistic vampires who eat their guests...and, feed their guests (and, their own villagers), to guests...and, who live in a long-gone, archaic town that 'pops-up' every so often!" "WHAT!?!?"This is one of those very good and quite disturbing European horror movies made in Spain/Italy (and, sometimes in Portugal) in the late-1960s-early-1970s that became a drive-in staple, and, cult-classic!
They're the 'best' for creepy-old settings; eerie-old castles and buildings; and, adding some 'real' history to old myths and producing great horror films!
Now, in my late forties, I still enjoy watching this now and again (especially with my Son who loves horror movies - imagine that!?!?)...it's actually a very good movie!NOTE - it's no small wonder that this movie is being rated so low on IMDb since many of the people doing the rating are expecting a 'sexual' orgy!?!?
You see, this cut off from the rest of the world's rustic village's inhabitants consist of nothing but ravenous, long-fanged, flesh-eating, blood-drinking vampires who intend on making yummy meals out of Taylor and friends!
The expert direction from Spanish fright film maestro Leon ("Werewolf Vs. the Vampire Woman") Klimovsky begins things in a deceptively gradual and deliberate manner, deftly creating a nightmarishly spooky atmosphere which eventually gives way to a steady succession of jump-out-at-you startling shocks.
"The Vampire's Night Orgy" is an enjoyable and fun European vampire entry.**SPOILERS**Traveling through the Spanish countryside, tourists Alma, (Dvanik Zurakowski) Raquel, (Charo Soriano) Marcos, (Manuel de Blas) Cesar, (David Aller) Godo, (Luis Ciges) and Ernesto, (Gaspar Gonzalez) breakdown in a small town and decide to get some help for the night.
That also applies to the few special effects, especially with the grotesque physiognomies of many of the villager extras who with the lighting and shadows on display along with the usual evil vampire grin makes them look really good, and the different amount of time that the other areas give to it through the lighting is great.
There's even some more goodness to be found from the rather unusual events, such as the vampire getting passionate with one of the travelers in her bedroom, only to suddenly reveal those massive fangs and hurling the unfortunate victim through a window to the zombie hoards waiting below, a weird dreamlike scenes of the zombie villagers attacking some of the tourists on a bus, and a giant who selects villagers to have a limb chopped off to provide meat to feed the tourists at the inn, which also includes a rather unique revelation sequence involving a finger found on a plate, but for the most part, this one is played really straight, and there's really a lot of great atmospherics to be found.
A particularly distressing scene involves one of the female passengers who gets turned into a zombie and is later seen exhuming the body of her dead daughter and mournfully dragging it away with her introduces an unexpected note of poignancy just when you think you have the film pinned down as an enjoyable but lightweight piece of b-movie fun.
It was filmed on a good location, one of those remote mountain country villages where it always seems like winter, photographed in the bleak and gloomy style of many 70s horror films that is always a plus.
For example, if you're like this busload of tourists marooned in the Italian village of Tonia, the entire populace could be vampires—even the old guy with no teeth.As far as low-budget Italian horror films go, THE VAMPIRES' NIGHT ORGY is neither terribly good nor bad.
The film never explains who that kid is, or why he hangs out in a village of vampires.
(It's supposed to be midnight.)So, there you have it: THE VAMPIRES' NIGHT ORGY, the film version of the creepy-looking guy who sits on a park bench all day but never really bothers anyone..
A bus full of travellers is heading for the town of Bojoni when the driver suffers a fatal heart attack, and the group is forced to stay in the deserted Tolnio village overnight.
There are some good moments – the female vampire decomposing in the back of the car as Luis (Jack Taylor) and Alma (Dyanik Zurokowska) drive into the sun-set, and the afore-mentioned disappearing ghost-boy who accompanies young Violeta (Sarita Gill), for example.
Luis(Franco regular Jack Taylor), a traveler passing through, falls in love with Alma(Dyanik Zurakowska)and believes that the people of the village are not who they appear.
His car was tampered with and fixing the cut wire will be a top priority so that Luis and, the ever-frightened Alma, can get out of this place before they are doomed like the others.Director León Klimovsky, known for his films starring Paul Naschy, attempts to develop an atmospheric horror film regarding trapped outsiders in a hostile place where vampiric citizens are around every corner.
There's little to no blood, quite an anemic vampire film.
I looked at the year 1974 and knew to expect something not as graphic as the kind of stuff we see today in horror/ vampire stories, but at least something worth the ride to watch.
But when I began watching The Vampire's Night Orgy first problem I found with it is the dubbed English version that was on the DVD box set is terrible.
When they arrive at night and go into a tavern it seems no one is in this village but one creepy guy with brown straight hair and a mustache that arrived shortly before the main lead characters.
Oh and this happens more than once during this film.Anyways to speed things up the first killing happens the first night they are in the village.
The leader of the village tells our leads of the film sorry no one was around to welcome them last night.
Then in the next scene her fangs aren't even bloody after just killing the guy.Alright so our two main leads meet in a room the creepy mustache man and the blonde woman and discuss that things are very fishy around this village when the sun goes down.
Well thats the plot of this film and for one it needs a different title, no sex orgy ever happened on screen, call it The Vampire's Night Massacre would be better.
bunch of people on a bus get stranded in a village where it looked like world war two had just ended last week.
there is a ridiculously bad "escape" scene with everyone in town, it looked like, hanging on his car, rocking it back and forth and so on.
Pretty Dull Night Orgy of the Vampire Villagers.
"The Vampires' Night Orgy" (1973) also has this certain charm typical of Spanish 70s Horror, but, sadly, it is also one of the dullest films of its kind.
Eurohorror regular Jack Taylor plays the hero, the female roles are cast with Helga Liné as the Countess, and Dyanik Zurakowska, and many of the other cast members also look familiar, mainly from European Horror and Exploitation productions.
In common Exploitation tradition, this one's title might raise expectations that the film doesn't live up to - "The Vampires' Night Orgy" contains very little sleaze.
