What happens when the top horror studio and finest kung fu studio co-produce a film?
They create a cross-genre classic, that's (sadly) little-remembered today!
To Be Concluded NEXT WEEK!
It was also Hammer's first co-production with another studio, in this case, Shaw Brothers, who were already doing co-productions with several other European studios.
Taking elements of both European and Asian vampire lore, writer Don Houghton (no stranger to sci-fi/fantasy/horror material with credits including the Dr Who tv series and several Hammer Dracula films) created a cross-genre story that combines the disparate (and sometimes contradictory) elements of two cultures' myths and makes it work logically (for the most part).
