Carry on Dracula!
By MikeyboyPaines (53 reviews) from Fareham , 07 May 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
May be not as over-the-top as Flesh for Frankenstein (same cast & crew) but still just as funny. Udo Kier plays the Baron with a serious speech impediment (pronouncing virgins as 'wergins'!) who leaves his home country due to the lack of wergins (sorry - virgins!). With Dracula's coffin strapped to the roof of his car, the Baron travels to a French chateau. Here he attempts to drink the blood of the local girls. Unfortunately the local gardener (Joe Dellasandro - with a ludicrously out of place Brooklyn accent) de-flowers each of the girls before Dracula can get to them.
One of the funnier moments is when Dracula discovers the girls are not virgins only after he's bitten them, whereupon he has to make a hasty lunge for the toilet to vomit, his face a bright shade of green.
Ruder than a Carry On and gorier than an '80s slasher flick, this is one film hard to top. As with Flesh for Frankenstein there's plenty of un-pc sex, violence and humour to please the most jaded of movie buffs. Just make sure you are jaded BEFORE you watch it!- Was this review helpful to you?

(8)Carry on Dracula!
By a customer from Newmarket , 14 Jan 2009This film is a scream, though not for the reasons you may think! Udo Kier plays Dracula as a constantly moaning weakling you want to slap around the face rather than drive a stake throuh the heart. Joe Dallesandro (complete with Brooklyn accent) plays the randy handyman Mario, who not only is a communist but has a novel solution for thwarting Dracula's plan of feasting on 'wirgin' blood (yes, you guessed it!). Laughs and blood are a-plenty in this amateurism horror hokum - courtesy of Warhol and Morrissey - as well as a hysterically funny exit for the Count. But the prize has to go to Arno Juerging as Anton, the Count's servant, whose lack of acting ability is outshone by both his facial expressions and a completely outrageous German accent! Rent and enjoy with the gang!!- Was this review helpful to you?

Customer Review
By a customer from UK , 23 Jun 2008Poorer than poor, at one point the talent free chap playing the "Count" screams "I vant my coffin!" I think we should give it to him, still in comparison to the rest of this clunky cast he's an acting god! From him and his manservant desperatley searching for "a Wirgin" to the "New Yawk" italian gardener who is happily denying that state to the various daughters of the Aristocratic Italian family with which the vampire stays, this is a masterclass in how to be accidentally funny on film; possibly the dumbest scene ever recorded is the death scene at the end when new york gardener stud chops up the Count with a handy fire axe! I laughed so much I couldn't find the remote! The music was nice and it was however quite well shot which is just as well, that way you could watch the scenery steal scene after scene from Captain Clunk and cast...I want my two hours back! As for my missing the point (meant to be bad?) I'll just say one last thing to Mr King, "Emperors new clothes"- Was this review helpful to you?

Intelligent film making - with blood
By FrankF (3 reviews) from Macclesfield , 11 Jan 2008Blood for Dracula is a *terrific* film; weird, weirdly acted, but beautifully shot, with dense layered metaphor and humour. Plus incestuous lesbianism - what's not to like?
Really improved by the commentaries, bringing out the details and intrigue of film-making.
good fun!- Was this review helpful to you?
