The problem with Hammer's ever-popular Dracula series is that the sequels to the original classic all follow a set formula and are all therefore rather monotonous. However, luckily for this instalment Hammer have assigned one of their top directors; Roy Ward Baker, and you can al...( read more)
This is the closest Hammer ever came to reading Bram Stoker's novel and Dracula's climb down the walls of the castle is one of the results!.
The wildest entry in the Hammer Dracula series, this one is full of violence and nudity and has a wonderful performance by Patrick Troughton as Dracula's kooky man-servent.

People who enjoy Hammer horror movies seem generally to have deemed 'Scars of Dracula' to be the poorest offering in the Hammer/Lee Dracula catalogue (1958-73), based on a paucity of originality. I would disagree and whilst the film may have more flaws than most Hammer films in t...( read more)
