Plot Summary
The first Hammer Dracula film which, according to Leonard Maltin, may indeed be their finest. The infamous vampire (Peter Cushing, "Star Wars") is given a new, elegant and ruthless persona as he descends upon England. "Christopher Lee is smooth as the Count, and Peter Cushing perfect as the tireless Professor Van Helsing," praises Maltin. This film is credited with single-handedly reviving the horror film genre!

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Both director Terence Fisher as well as the cast have taken a serious approach to the macabre theme that adds up to lotsa tension and suspense.
Fresh: This Grand Guignol treatment bowled people over in the 50s, and it still yields some potent shocks.
Fresh: This Hammer classic will be good for a laugh, and some shivers.
Fresh: A Great British horror film with bite.
Customer Reviews
Horror Of Dracula
This is by far my favorite Dracula movie and Christopher Lee was by far the best (and most molevolent) Dracula. I can't wait until it's for sale. I hope itunes gets all the "Christopher Lee" Dracula movies.
The Horror of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing
An excellent version of Bram Stoker's novel, "Dracula". Jimmy Sangster who wrote the screenplay, also did "The Crawling Eye"(1958 - another excellent horrow film with Forrest Tucker!). The film is real scary. But the ending is superb!!! You cannot beat watching Cushing going after Lee, in their second film together from Hammer! One of the best in the genre!
Christopher Lee
Christopher Lee is probably the best Dracula ever! Next to Bela Lugosi of course.
