Title: Anaemic sequel to Hammers Drac canon
Review: Absolutely dreadful sequel awfully acted apart from Christopher Lee as the Count who looks fantastic but fails to save the film. Lousy production gimmicky unconvincing effects and those awful bats. Why Hammer had to resort to copying Universal is beyond me. No wonder the great Mr Lee got sick of Hammer using the Count in daft storylines and having to speak ludricrous dialogue. The only good points are Hammer regular Michael Ripper as a suspicious publican and the ending in which Dracula is struck by lightning. I was also very surprised at director Roy Ward Baker who had directed such Hammer classics as "Quatermass and the Pit" and "Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde" was he not bothered? Most definately the worst in the Hammer Dracula cycle.
