    In this shoddy memorial to Hammer's golden years, Christopher Lee gives a disappointing final appearance as Dracula, masquerading as a mysterious Howard Hughes-style business mogul, plotting to control the world with a vampire virus. It's lacking in Hammer's usual Gothic flavour and detail, and Alan Gibson's careless direction proved to be the final nail in the Dracula coffin, despite the indefatigable Peter Cushing performing his usual miracle as a descendant of the original Van Helsing, with Joanna Lumley as his daughter.

    As I remember...

    I watched this a few years back when I was in High School and I remember I wasn't really too keen on it. I'd already seen Dracula: Prince of Darkness, which was brilliant (and I must rent out again sometime), but this film lacked everything Prince of Darkness had.

    For a truly original take on the Dracula theme watch Dracula, Pages from a Virgins Diary by Guy Maddin. It probably won't be your cup of tea if you're not into 'arty' films though.
