I came across this film on You Tube yesterday and was surprised to find that it was a remake of Fritz Lang's M (1931) shot in South America.
The title translate as THE BLACK VAMPIRE. M was released in South America as THE VAMPIRE OF DUSSELDORF so the title makes sense there even tho there is no vampire. This is not a scene by scene remake like the remake made in the United States in 1951.
The film has a dark moody black and white atmosphere like an older movie would have. The actor playing the killer is pretty good. In one scene he takes the daughter of a friend to the carnival and has to fight his urge to kill her.

First of all to reviewer Cosmo the film you are thinking of is FROM HELL IT CAME. That was about a tree monster coming to life. The tree was by Paul Blaisdell who made a lot of monster suits for A.I.P. in their B movie years.
I saw this movie on You Tube last night. From what I heard it was a lost movie (And some people might say it should have stayed lost) The print I saw was in Spainish.
The film is made up of lots of footage of mostly of people who live in the jungle. There is a lot of footage of topless native women. Also some film from a circus is spliced in.

I have not read Ed Wood's novel DEVIL GIRLS so I can not say how close this film is to the book. It is a lot like Wood's girl gang film THE VOILENT YEARS.
The film in style tries too hard to look like a bad Ed Wood production. Camera/computer tricks were used to make the footage look under/over exposed and other video filters to were used to make the video feature look like a beat up old movie print.
The film's actors got the B movie style of acting down pretty well.
The actor playing the preacher had his scenes shot at a different time from the other actors and is crudely edited into the movie. He is never in the same scene with any of the other actors even when they are talking to each other.
As far as I know the director sold/gave away video tapes of this film for only a short time back when it was made. I saw the movie on what seems to be a homemade DVD print.
