•A young man and his girlfriend set out to search for his brother, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. They arrive at Count Dracula's castle, which, behind a hospitable welcome, hides the desire to vampirize the girl. A servant helps the young couple escape. Another "Dracula" by Hammer with Christopher Lee: cloying, boring, predictable like and more than the previous ones. To tell the truth, however, the film does have at least one aspect worth mentioning: it is certainly one of the most gruesome films produced by the English company: the church massacre scene, the sequence of a priest's death attacked by a giant bat, and the tortures inflicted by the Count on his servant were certainly very strong scenes for the period, and even now they maintain a good impact. For the rest, the film is really not much.
