Trivia

Hammer stalwart Terence Fisher was due to direct this until he was forced to bow out following an automobile accident, leaving Cameraman Freddie Francis at the helm. See more »

Goofs

Dracula's castle seems to be missing the front road, the bridge from the road to the door, and the moat with the frozen water. This apparently explains how Dracula's body ended up somewhere else due to the disappearance of these former features of the castle. See more »

You Can't Keep a Good Vampire Down
1 November 2013 | by utgard14 – See all my reviews

Great Gothic Hammer horror. One of the better Dracula sequels and one of director Freddie Francis' best. It has a lot of the elements you expect and appreciate from Hammer: solid actors, great sets, quality direction, beautiful and vivacious young women. The plot is relatively simple: Dracula wants revenge and pretty blonde Veronica Carlson but her Monsignor uncle and loser boyfriend have a thing or two to say about that. There's also some interesting additions to the mythology where belief vs atheism is concerned. It all makes for a very entertaining sequel full of many familiar and proved effective Hammer staples, with several new ones as well.
