My first rewatch of this film that was not from a Youtube rip from a 30-year-old VHS tape. Whatever can be said about the film's low budget and somewhat amateurish cast is even more irrelevant, and the economy of the modest FX budget, relying on mildy psychedelic flashes, proves to be even more ingenious and inspired. (And bonus points for stealing that one scene from "Thriller".)
For the uninitiated, a smallband of settlers under a religious pariah leader settle into a wilderness valley that (*foreshadowing*) the local Shawnee refuse to enter and which appears to be mysteriously abandoned. For added fun, the group is accompanied by a young psychic - a witch! - who provides both warnings and advice. One of the jewels, and only American film, of the recent box set of uncovered previously obscure 'folk horror' films, All The Haunts Be Ours.
8.5/10

Another rewatch. I saw this one maybe four or five years back, and didn't remember too much about it, so I thought I'd give it a revisit. Normally a "Baba Yaga" is a mythical Polish witch which literally translates to something like "grandmother serpent". This film isn't really interested in exploring Slavic folklore, so the Baba Yaga here is used as a convenience to tellanother version of the Carmilla vampire tale, where an elder mysterious woman with strong lesbian allures (an impressive Carroll Baker) becomes enmeshed in the lives of a young hip Italian couple. The film is also a more direct adaptation of the late-60s erotic/S&M Italian comic strip Valentina.

So chalk it up maybe to the relative deluge of erotic, seductive and highly hypnotic variations of sexy S&M vampire films from this early 70s era that this particular film does seem less memorable than many of the others, but well worth seeking out for fans of the genre.
For a brief recap of some of the better, of the many, takes on Carmilla, which is perhaps the most influential vampire tale outside of Dracula (except that Carmilla happened to be the primary influence for that as well):
Blood and Roses (1960)

Terror in the Crypt (1964)

Daughters of Darkness (1971)

The Blood-Spattered Bride (1972)

All of the above four films would fit into a snug 8-9/10 ranking from me.
More on par with Baba Yaga would be the Hammer take on the material from this time, The Vampire Lovers (1970).

Both this and Baba Yaga I'd place at 7.5/10
And further down we get the sequel to the above, Lust For a Vampire (1971)

6/10
And, finally at the bottom, a film with a game Carmilla in Celeste Yarnall, but is otherwise pretty drab and slow, The Velvet Vampire (1971)

5.5/10
(I'm sure that Jess Franco's lesbian vampire films derived in one way or another from Carmilla as well, considering how it is the lingua franca of the sizable subgenre, but I'm frankly not going to bother with them here.)
