A dissident is leaving Communist Eastern Europe but on the way out, he's killed by Dracula. Then, inexplicably, Drac arrives at Smalltown, USA and assumes the role of this dissident as he moves in with extended family. Why he did this is really never explained--especially since moving in with this family seems to only complicate things for the vampire.
As strange as it may sound, I had a hard time staying awake during this very dull little horror film. Despite the tantalizing title, the film features very few chills as well as the strangest incarnation of Dracula I have ever seen--complete with curly hair reminiscent of an aging Don Juan. And, instead of thrills, not a whole lot happens in this film--only two people die and oddly, the blind one, is able to see when she is reborn as a vampire. It's obvious that this was designed for the drive-in movie crowd (which was usually young, frisky and willing to sit through even the dullest of movies in order to smooch). As I watched it all alone (my wife/smooching partner was busy working), I was bored to tears!
