375 The Thirsty Dead ( 1974 )
Although the premise qualifies as horror, this low budget US / Filipino film is pretty tame and certainly wouldn't earn more than a 12 certificate these days.
Four girls are abducted from Manila and taken to a mountain hideaway where a death cult led by Raoul ( a disembodied head in a coloured fish tank ) operates. One of them, Laura, is invited to join the elite, the other three are destined to be harvested for their blood. Laura plots to save them along with head male Baru ( John Considine ) who has fallen for her.
