Middling fair Dracula fable about an overbearing father whose secrets and iron grip on his family eventually lead to his downfall. The special effects are pretty bad even for an early seventies movie. The blood looks like Day-Glo red paint mixed with ketchup and there is no trademark effect of Dracula turning into a bat. Apparently at some point this movie was re-rated R. I had it mixed in with a bunch of old Hammer and Universal monster flicks, my daughter picked it and the family sat down to watch. The blood was no big deal since it looks faker than fake anyway but I was a little dismayed and my wife outraged when the screen was suddenly filled with some very voluptuous women dancing and shaking their very ample and naked bodies, my daughters just ignored it. Weathering that, there wasn't much else to warrant an R rating.
