leans more toward "bad" than "so bad it's good", 5 August 2007
4/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

I have been slowly working my way through the films of Al Adamson over a long period of time....slowly, that is, so not to incur brain damage from watching more than one of an evening. I have found that for the most part, Adamson's films are CHOCK FULL of entertainment value, intended or not. Sadly, "Blood Of Dracula's Castle" seems to be one that was played more-or-less straight with cheesy props and bad acting, and it is more just plain bad with little in the way of redeeming values. A young couple inherits a castle in the desert, or something like that, although it's apparently near the shore, too, huh, where IS that? At any rate, after a tough day at Sea World frolicking with walruses or wherever that is that they were hanging out, they hit the road to go find this place and claim their inheritance. Little do they expect that Dracula & his wife live there, looked after by butler John Carradine and deformed Mango, who collects young ladies for their dining pleasure. There's also something to do with an escaped convict that Mr. & Mrs. Dracula think very highly of, and this guy gets "crazy" when the moon is full....is he a werewolf? Uh, no, he just gets "crazy". Not that we, the viewers, would not already think that of him for all the dirty deeds he committed to get back to the castle. Anyway, this is very lackluster for an Adamson film and has little of the "unexpected pleasures" that bad movie fans like myself really enjoy in his films, so therefore I'm afraid I'll have to pronounce this one a dud. 4 out of 10.
