Goofs

When Dracula "seduces" Zena, he pulls at the ribbon fastening her cloak. This causes her to turn to face him, but does not conspicuously loosen her cloak. However, the camera then jumps to another angle (roughly, Dracula's POV). The editing suggests direct continuity, but Zena's cloak has, seemingly instantaneously, slipped off from her left shoulder.

One of the best!
6 November 2005 | by (Azusa, CA) – See all my reviews

The folks at Hammer Film Productions were nothing if not passionate and professional. This entry into the legendary series is only an itty-bitty notch below their inaugural effort, the great "Horror Of Dracula,' as the second best of the entire series.

Chrisopher Lee is at his menacing best. No one can drive a horse-pulled hearse with his fierce intensity. And those eyes, YIKES! What a great effect, one that still gets me 35 years after i first saw the film as a 14-year old in Los Angeles' San Gabriel Valley (and where I saw it on TV not 15 minutes ago).

Hammer vets Freddie Francis and Anthony Hinds create killer-diller fun with strong atmosphere; eerie, colorful lighting and a solid story. And the acting is great, too. Hammer staff composer James Bernard's exciting score adds to the enjoyment.

Hammer's films are for kids ... kids like me who loved then as a teenager and kids like me who are now over 50.
