    Dated but enjoyable piece of horror fluff. Hammer purists will hate it but there's enough going on to entertain the casual viewer.

    This is a much better film than it sounds. Lee and Cushing play their famous roles perfectly and the 1970s background gives new life to an almost worn out Hammer tale.
  • October 3, 2006
    Fun 70s style and, as always, great performances by Lee and Cushing help this often maligned entry in the series work smashingly.

    Classic vampire horror with Christopher Lee as Dracula, who is risen from the grave by a seemingly unhinged man in London in 1972. Dracula makes his way through a group of young friends but has his heart set upon the grand daughter of the famous vampire hunter, Van Helsing. This ...( read more)is pretty fun for the most part with inappropriately upbeat music in the death scenes!

    It gave me a penchant from big brunettes in open topped dresses...Dracula was a god!

    A brilliant premise (Dracula resurrected in the modern age). Something to add to the favourites list. Great dialogue, a fantastic Peter Cushing and wonderful direction. Opinion may change when I've seen the rest though.

    Another great offer from Hammer studios. I love Christopher Lee when he plays the vampire. He always does an amazing job even though he doesn't have alot of screen time. A lot of people hate these Hammer films but I think there great.

    This one is kind of cheesy but it's Dracul...( read more)a in 1972 London of course it will be cheesy. The plot is pretty cool in this one and it's highly entertaining for what it is. Some of the acting is quite good to tell the truth. Most Hammer movies have bad acting but I haven't seen one with bad acting yet.

    There is almost no gore in these old vampire movies but the suspense makes up for that. There is some amazing suspense in these movies. That's one thing Hammer was good at.

    Christopher Lee as I said before does an awesome job and definately makes the movie what it is. He is almost as good as Bela Lugosi was in the original 1930's Universal film. I think that modern cinema needs another shot of Hammer offerings.

    Definately reccommended.

    never heard of it...

    Dracula is brought back to life by way of hippy Devil Worshippers to battle the decendent of Van Helsing.
    The movie starts with Drac and Van Helsing in a fight to the death in the 1800's. But seeing the Count hanging out with a bunch of foppish hippy types is kinda unsettling. ...( read more)And the lame music is dam annoying. That goes for the backround music (like the kind you would here in a TV cop show) and the terrible 'rock' music that the hipsters gyrate to.
    On the plus side...it has Caroline (MANIAC) Munroe !
    Still...this is better than the new romantic vampire crap like TWIGHLIGHT. Vampires are evil spawns of Satan...not angst ridden,emo -drips.
