    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Sir Christopher Lee loved to recount the following tale: Hammer was given a Queen's Award to Industry while shooting the final scenes of Dracula impaled on the rocks, with a group of British government dignitaries watching as Lee thrashed around screaming and pouring with gore. After the scene wrapped, a minister turned to his wife and said, "That man is a member of my club."
    • Goofs
      The priest and Monsignor must make a treacherous climb up the mountains to get to Dracula's castle in order to exorcise it. What happened to the dirt road that the Kents were able to easily use in the previous movie?
    • Quotes

      Paul: [the Monsignor is asking Paul about his church affiliation] I don't go to church, sir.

      Monsignor Ernest Mueller: [Surprised] You don't go to church?

      Paul: No, sir.

      Monsignor Ernest Mueller: You're not a Protestant, are you?

      Paul: No, sir.

      Monsignor Ernest Mueller: Thank heaven for that!

      Paul: [a bit hesitant] I am an atheist, sir.

      Monsignor Ernest Mueller: [Taken aback] I beg your pardon?

      Paul: I'm an atheist, sir.

      Monsignor Ernest Mueller: You mean you deny the existence of God?

      Paul: I don't deny it. I just don't believe it. It's my own opinion, sir.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to remove some closeup shots of Dracula pulling a stake from his heart. Later video and DVD releases were uncut.

    Gorgeous visuals and sumptuous settings but a weak script...
    A weak script doesn't hinder "Dracula Has Risen from the Grave" from being absorbing most of the way. It has a weak mid-section full of repetitious scenes of Dracula about to take a bite out of a voluptuous female, scenes that don't advance the plot the way they should.

    For this reason, some may find fault with the slow pace of much of the film but there's no denying the impressive look of sets, costumes and the proper Gothic atmosphere. Technicolor captures every bit of the shadows and light, just the way effective B&W photography has always done in the past. And the close-ups of Christopher Lee's bloodshot eyes lingers in the mind long after his infrequent appearance has been made.

    That's also part of the problem. The role of Dracula really takes a back seat to others in the cast, all of whom are competent performers. Particularly engaging are Veronica Carlson (as one of Dracula's most sought after victims) and Barry Andrews as her infatuated boyfriend. Andrews plays the role of Paul with a saucy cockiness and a twinkle in his eye, easily making what is essentially a cardboard role a standout among the supporting players by virtue of his earnest performance and personality.

    Engaging enough as a typical Dracula thriller, but clearly not the best of the Hammer films in this series. James Bernard's music helps keep the suspense level vibrant enough.
