Dracula (Christopher Lee) is dialed up to eleven in this instalment of the Hammer Dracula saga. Dracula is bought back to life by a vomiting bat, he kills a young woman, the villagers burn down his castle but Dracula slaughters the womenfolk in the church in revenge...
Meanwhile in a nearby town Paul (Christopher Matthews) is getting into trouble of the horizontal jogging kind with the burgomaster's daughter. On the run he ends up at Dracula's castle. His brother Simon (Dennis Waterman) and Sarah (Jenny Hanley) turn up at the castle looking for him. Only Sarah's crucifix saves her from being the next blood snack of Dracula...
A wonderfully creepy film, Dracula has immense power in this film assisted by Klove (Patrick Troughton). Some of the effects are a bit cheesy (especially the bats) but the gore and bloody violence are high on the scale.
