•
An English governess in a Transylvanian castle discovers that her employer is a vampire. Fortunately, the usual hero will arrive to save her. Fisher returns to fish to his heart's content in the tradition of the character created by Stoker, demonstrating that films "for purely commercial purposes" were already being made in the sixties! The role of the vampire hunter is once again entrusted to Peter Cushing, while the contribution and class of the legendary Christopher Lee are missing. Avoidable.
