If you loved The Vampire Doll, try Lake of Dracula
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Michio Yamamoto, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Horror / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Vampire Doll, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Lake of Dracula is
Lakeside. Summer heat. A child's scream. A coffin arrives, by ship, holding only grave dirt. A doctor investigates a string of bizarre deaths, each victim drained dry. Yamamoto's third Dracula film for Toho leans hard into gothic Euro-horror vibes.
