•Four noble English travelers, two women and two men, are welcomed by a perfect butler in a manor in the Carpathians. It is the castle of Dracula, who rises again with the help of the butler and turns two of the four travelers into vampires. The others find refuge in a convent... There is really little that is original and suggestive in this yet another cinematic adaptation of Stoker's novel. Except for the introduction of a new character, Klove (Philip Latham), the servant of the Prince of Darkness who receives, with his gentle manners and unsettling demeanor, the guests in the castle, this film by Fisher offers no particular reason to be remembered, ultimately proving to be one of the many films about the exploits of the most famous vampire in history. The Count, once again, has the face and class of the great Christopher Lee.
