Three seemingly respectable family men are actually devoted to witchcraft and the worship of the Devil. During one of their dark rituals, they resurrect none other than Count Dracula, who, as a thank you, begins to pursue them to kill them... Christopher Lee once again as Dracula, this time directed by Peter Sasdy (who with this film makes his debut on the big screen, before he had only directed TV movies). A decent Hammer product, as usual a bit too slow and stiff, but no worse than many others. If you really love the genre...
