Title: Strong entry in the Dracula series
Product review: Despite the title, there is no Dracula in this film, but instead we have a vampire named Baron Meinster. The Baron gets a young French girl to release him from the shackles his mother has put him in. The Baron begins taking young women and has plans to take the French girl, but Professor Van Helsing arrives and begins to realize what is going on and he tries to stop Meinster. The film is solid all the way through, good story and credible acting. David Peel does a fine job as the slick, but evil vampire and whoever did his make-up should be commended. Peter Cushing delivers a grand performance as Van Helsing, Horror of Dracula is a better film, but I think this is Cushing's best portrayl as the vampire hunter. This is also a beautiful film with all the lush, vibrant sets and costumes that Hammer often had. Unlike some of the Hammer Dracula films, this one does have a satisfying ending that seems more planned than rushed. This one is certainly worth buying.
