Crucible of the Vampireの配信情報・視聴方法・感想

**_A spooky ordeal at an old estate in England_**

A young museum curator (Katie Goldfinch) is sent to a country manor a few hours northwest of London to investigate an artefact unearthed in the basement. The family seems nice, but strange things start to mount up, causing the woman to want to flee. Florence Cady is on hand as the questionable blonde daughter of the estate.

“Crucible of the Vampire” (2019) is low-budget Indie horror in the tradition of Hammer Films. Although a flaw surfaces here or there, such as the introduction of Scarlet (Cady), the filmmaking is professional enough. The focus is on creepy mood rather than fast pace or constant thrills, although everything builds to an exciting last act in which the F/X are impressive considering the budget.

Carla Cresswell in the prologue stands out in the female department, a great way to open the movie.

If you don’t mind low-budget Indies and are in the mood for spooky atmosphere at an old British mansion in the mold of “Jane Eyre,” “House of Usher,” “The Others,” “Dracula, Prince of Darkness” and "Witchfinder General” (aka “Conqueror Worm”), give it a watch.

The flick runs 1 hour, 44 minutes and was shot in Shropshire, England, which is about 3 hours northwest of London and about 45 minutes northwest of Birmingham.
