Atom Age Vampire 1960

Atom Age Vampire (1960) is a black-and-white Italian horror film, originally titled Seddok, l'erede di Satana, directed by Anton Giulio Majano. Despite its U.S. title suggesting vampirism, it features no actual vampires, instead delivering a mad scientist tale influenced by films like Eyes Without a Face.

Plot Summary
A nightclub performer named Jeanette (Susanne Loret) suffers severe facial disfigurement in a fiery car crash after a lover's quarrel. Desperate and suicidal, she's taken to Dr. Alberto Levin (Alberto Lupo), a reclusive scientist who restores her beauty using an experimental serum called Derma-28.

The serum's effects fade quickly, forcing Levin—now obsessively in love—to harvest glands from young women, murdering them to keep producing it. Disguised in a hooded coat, he prowls Paris streets as a hulking killer, drawing police pursuit while his assistant and Jeanette's ex-boyfriend close in.

Key Themes and Style
The movie blends gothic horror with atomic-age sci-fi paranoia, exploring obsession, vanity, and the perils of unethical science. Shot in France with Italian leads, it runs about 87 minutes in its U.S. cut, featuring campy dialogue, lab experiments, and a tragic monster transformation for Levin.
