Storyline

In London in the 1970s, Scotland Yard police investigators think they have uncovered a case of vampirism. They call in an expert vampire researcher named Van Helsing (a descendant of the great vampire-hunter himself, no less) to help them put a stop to these hideous crimes. It becomes apparent that the culprit is Count Dracula himself, disguised as a reclusive property developer, but secretly plotting to unleash a fatal virus upon the world. Written by Jonathon Dabell <J.D.@pixie.ntu.ac.uk>

User Reviews

More fun than you'd expect
2 March 1999 | by (USA) – See all my reviews

Not by any means a great film but it's a huge improvement over Dracula A.D. 1972. The plot plays along the lines of an episode of The Avengers and involves plague warfare and Dracula as a reclusive billionaire in mod London. Lots of silly fun. Lee and Cushing's final Dracula outing. If you're a Hammer fan don't miss the excellent new widescreen video transfer of it.
