    Solid movie. Atmospheric, and with good performances by Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Everything you'd expect from it.

    Fun but uneven entry was the last of the series, so it does have a nostalgic feeling at times (though, only in retrospect, I imagine.)

    Same old thing with that funky seventies lady vibe.......still cool though.

    Last Lee Dracula/Cushing Van Helsing outing is a pretty good time even if it is set in (then) modern times; it does sorta makes you think that vampire hunting is an old dead lore. Im a fan of these two squaring off & I love how Cushing lures Lee into his final demise. Lee is alm...( read more)ost like 'what the fuck. Im Dracula this shouldn't be a problem'. Damn straight & you're the best Dracula. Personally I didn't know vampires could go by the thorns of Christ

    This is the dire follow up to Dracula A.D. 1972. Although they kept it set in modern day, gone is the campy groovy feel. This is played out as a cop mystery-thriller. Dracula has become a big businessman and wants to destroy the world with a deadly virus. Even if it is conceivabl...( read more)y the most original Dracula tale? The problem I found with this entry is that it is slow moving. I?m kept waiting for something to happen. Christopher Lee gets less time on screen than normal but when he does pop up he looks so bored with the whole thing anyway. Cushing is solid as always. I can only recommend this to true Hammer fans who might want to see it just for the sake of it being the Last of Hammers Dracula?s.

    I bravely lasted through the end but it didn't get any better as I hoped. Quite ridiculous actually.

  • March 13, 2009
