Dona Marisa's daughter Katherine (Amalia Fuentes) has died - so she asks scientist Dr Marco (Ronald Remy), who is also a vampire and Katherine's lover, to restore her back to life. Marco agrees to it, but claims he needs the heart of Katherine's twin sister Cherito (also Amalia Fuentes), whom her mum has given away at birth. So Marco's vampire minions soon set out to kill Cherito's foster parents and before long, Dona Marisa has invited her over to her estate - but it might already be a tad to late, because Cherito's friends Victor (Eddie Fernandez) and Ruben have already found out that vampires are really roaming the neighbourhood and have contacted a priest for help. And then there's Dona Marisa, who has second thoughts about letting her daughter Cherito being killed by Marco, just for the sake of her other daughter, so she even helps her escape - but not before Marco has put her under a hypnotic spell ...

Also, Dona Marisa is not very happy when she realizes her daughter is revived as a vampire, but now it's too late, because Katherine is already alive again, even without Cherito's heart.

Meanwhile Cherito, Ruben, Victor, Victor's two sisters and the priest have gathered in church and pray for Marco and Katherine, and wouldn't you know it, the vampire's curse is lifted from the couple and they can live as normal people - but only until Katherine injures herself, and now Marco needs Cherito's heart more than ever, and he uses his hypnotic powers to lure her back and his vampire minions to fight off adversaries. But ultimately, Victor manages to transform a funeral procession into an angry mob and fight the vampires with stakes and a flare gun - vampires fear bright light - until Cherito is saved and most of them are dead, only Marco, the devil incarnate, has somehow managed to escape ...

In writing, this film sounds like a typical piece of vampire trash, and to be quite honest, the film isn't too great in storytelling, either. However, Blood Drinkers might still be one of the best horror films of its time, thanks to Gerardo De Leon's moody, almost poetic direction, his wonderful use of his exotic backdrops, and most of all thanks to his innovative, almost avant garde use of tinted filmstock, alternating ever so often with normal colour film and often changing colour within one shot, which gives the film a certain dreamlike atmosphere quite unlike everything you have ever seen before (and only very rarely since, for that matter). And for that alone, the film is simply a must-see.
