Set in London in the early 1970's, supposedly for teen thrills, Johnny organises a black magic ceremony in a desolate churchyard. The culmination of the ritual, however, is the rejuvenation of Dracula from shrivelled remains. Johnny, Dracula' s disciple, lures victims to the deserted graveyard for his master's pleasure and one of the victims delivered is Jessica Van Helsing. Descended from the Van Helsing line of vampire hunters her grandfather, equipped with all the devices to snare and destroy the Count, confronts his arch enemy in the age-old battle between good and evil.

Marco Castellini

London, early 1970s: a young follower of a satanic cult organizes a black mass to resurrect Count Dracula. Back among the living, the Prince of Darkness begins to reap victims, but a young descendant of his sworn enemy Van Helsing is on his trail. One of the weakest products of Hammer: even upon its release, the film received unanimous negative reviews and even today, the judgment remains the same. The attempt to update the exploits of the most famous vampire in history is unconvincing. In the cast, the indestructible duo Lee and Cushing.
