THE VAMPIRE'S COFFIN is a Mexican horror from 1958, in which graverobbers dig up the body of a vampire for scientific experimentation, only to unleash his evil once again.

violence
Characters punch, kick and shove one another in scenes of hand to hand fighting. A man shoots a supernatural character, but the bullets have no effect. A woman is grabbed and restrained by a man. A vampire bites his victims' necks.
threat and horror
There are frequent scenes of mild supernatural threat as a vampire stalks his intended victims, who occasionally scream in fright. Characters are left in precarious situations, including at risk of being decapitated by a guillotine. There is sight of and reference to historic instruments of torture in a museum exhibition of such devices. There is gun and knife threat; a man intimidates another by looping a noose around his neck.
sex
There are verbal references to a male character's habit of flirting with women, and we see him do so on occasion.
injury detail
Characters are left with small bite marks on their necks after being attacked by a vampire. There is sight of blood dripping from a torture instrument after it is implied someone has been murdered within it; this effect is dated and unconvincing, however. A dead body is seen with a stake protruding from its chest, but there is no sight of any injury detail in relation to this.
additional issues
There is very mild bad language ('hell').
