“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Crowley (1987)
The first film from Uruguay that I've covered, this is truly obscure; it was shot on a home camcorder by a teenager who also stars. It's a standard vampire story, with some very inept technical aspects (for once, the whole film is OVER-lit), an eye gouge, a head crush, a knife to the skull and a bunch of neck bites. The credits were drawn by hand and the music must be from another film. It's not laughably bad by any means, but an attempt at making a serious horror film by someone with no resources. The titular connection to Alaistair Crowley is minimal.
