I'm not sure why so many fans dislike this 6th entry in Hammer's Dracula series, the 5th with Chris Lee portraying the evil vampire and never before with so much to say, do, snarl and grimace over - especially the leading lady's overwhelming bosom, which deserves a co-starring role of its own! In this revamping of the original Dracula tale, the boobs and blood are amped to high volume, which is quite shocking juxtapositioned against that scary fairytale atmosphere that Hammer was so wonderful at. All six of the Hammer Dracula films up to this point are terrific, set in those gorgeous Gothic surroundings, that are still to this day among the best of the best of Dracula films, Gothic Horror and Horror Movies in general. After this one, the series would take a nosedive when they mistakenly decided to thrust Drac into the modern world, plunging a stake through their most successful, and one of Moviedom's most enjoyable, franchises. Sigh. The Fairytale must end sometime.
