Christopher Lee thinks this is his weakest Dracula sequel, but Hammer horror fans like it because the Count has more screen time here than in any other episode. There's also a palpable dark fairy-tale atmosphere achieved by director Roy Ward Baker as Dracula tries sinking his fangs into naive Transylvanian travellers Dennis Waterman and Jenny Hanley. Propping up the formula vampire tale are a memorable death by lightning climax, and more blood, sadism and silly rubber bats than ever before.

This was Hammer's last 'period' Dracula before they plunged the Count disastrously into Swinging London. The plot... read more on Time Out

Hammer Horror classic
This is the fifth or sixth of Christopher Lee's Dracula movies. The storyline is predictable as always, but even so, it's one of the Hammer classics and thoroughly enjoyable - yes we have the obligatory 'bat on a string' bouncing up and down, and lots of other corny effects, which would have seemed far more hi-tech in their day! Dennis Waterman and fiance Jenny Hanley go in search of his brother, and of course end up at Dracula's Castle (do these people never learn?) Christopher Lee gives his usual great performance as the vampire Count, and the whole movie seems very 'BBC' and a little stereotypical. Maybe that's what makes it so great to watch. It's probably not as good as the previous Dracula offerings from Hammer, but still worth watching... especially with the lights down, candles lit, and a bottle or two of wine... red of course!!
