| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonQuarry's commanding performance and some offbeat touches make this a worthy fang flick. |
| ESplatterSteve BiodrowskiYorga may not be a very refined film, but it packs a lot of attitude ... |
| DVDJournal.comMark BourneYorga's Southern California styles and setting are now Brady Bunch retro-chic, while its self-conscious exploitation of the era's newly liberated 'free love' attitudes has in 30 years slid from being cool to quaint. |
| CineVueChristopher MachellA creaky but charming entry into the genre. |
| User ReviewPeter CCLASSIC SATURDAY AFTERNOON HORROR MOVIE FROM CREATURE DOUBLE FEATURE that used to air here in PHILADELPHIA from 1973 to 1982. COUNT YORGA is an AWESOME VAMPIRE MOVIE (for its time of in 1970) and Robert Quarry as COUNT YORGA is one of the BEST VAMPIRE counts of the 1970s. ROGER PERRY plays DR. HAYES. For decades only a cut version of COUNT YORGA was available yet the DVD (and earlier, the cable-tv station CIINEMAX) uses an uncut print of COUNT YORGA entiled "THE LOVES OF COUNT IORGA" in the aforementioned uncut print, there's more dialog and a longer scene of the dead kitten. come to think of it, RETURN OF COUNT YORGA has more scenes and dialog as well. Thank God for DVD and BLURAY (and CINEMAX and LASERDISC)-- all the great movies that were cut over the years are now available in extended versions; for better or for worse sometimes: sometimes the cut-version is better (like LIFEFORCE-the 90 minute version is better than the 121 minute version). FOLLOWED BY RETURN OF COUNT YORGA and DEATHMASTER (where ROBERT QUARRY PLAYS KHORDA) YORGA spelled backwards is "GORY" with an extra 'A' |
| User ReviewGarage PAbsolutely the scariest movie I saw as a kid, it seemed so real, it had a contemporary setting, when most V movies went for the classic era. So gritty it's almost punk. |
| User ReviewKevin ROne of the best early 70s vampire films. The film begins and stays in comtemporary Los Angeles where the Count played charismatically by Robert Quarry begins to prey on a small group of friends. Some very well staged shock moments and a great atmosphere add up to a scarefest that although only rated PG13 will leave a lasting impression. One of many downbeat films made in California around the time of the Manson murders. This is Quarry's first of two appearances as Yorga and he compares very favourably with Christopher Lee at Hammer. Thoroughly recommended intelligent shocks. |

| User ReviewFilmGrinder S82% "Ridiculous, right? The age of atomic weapons and we have to use sticks!"-Dr James "Jim" Hayes (Roger Perry) The only good kitty...is a dead kitty, being eaten by a bloodsucker. I won't be forgetting it any time soon. Great ending as well. |
