Dracula's Daughter is a blatant cash in on the success of the original Dracula film. Dracula's Daughter learns of her father's death and seems to seek a way out of the vampire's curse, yet doesn't really try that hard. The film will keep your interest, but that's about it.
Picking up exactly where DRACULA (1931) left off, this sequel has Drac's "daughter" seeking to liberate herself from the curse of vampirism by seeking the help of a psychotherapist. Some interesting twists (Countess Zaleska is both the first tragic vampire and the first openly b...( read more)
Moody, atmospheric, almost hypnotic film (much like its main character) from Universal is an overlooked gem. Gloria Holden owns this film and creates a strange, sad, perplexing "monster." What's most interesting about the film is that we, as the audience, are never quite sure i...( read more)

Rather better than the original Dracula, which, though groundbreaking, was horribly stagebound and uncinematic. This does the job much better, if without Lugosi (who went on to a rather dreadful movie career.)
I was expecting this to be a lot better than I found it to be. Maybe I just couldn't ignore the patriarchal bias which really dates the film.
Dracula's Daughter definitely has some very creepy moments, but it could've been so much better if Bela returned. But overall it was a pretty good horror movie. Gloria Holden delivered a surprisingly great performance.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Dracula's Daughter" !
