Despite the many parodies since the release of the Hammer Dracula films that have dulled the horror and creepiness, the film is still strong, due to both Cushing and Lee. The film uses elements of the Stoker novel, but makes some surprising alterations from the start, most of which work quite well. Lee is still an imposing presence from his first introduction, and whilst the fight scenes are a little creaky compared to modern standards, it is Lee that ensures the film still has a creepy feel to it, shifting effortlessly from the brooding suave Count to an animalistic creature when he attacks.

This is definitely a classic. The story moves along nicely and we are dropped into things immediately. I'm not crazy about the way that they made Harker already aware of what Count Dracula was. It takes away from the horror of the discovery of Dracula's true being. The scariest moment of the film is when vampire Lucy abducts her niece in the woods. Lucy has an evil look about her that is unsettling. Christopher Lee's Dracula is a polished gentleman when meeting Harker but acts like an animal from the library fight scene until the end of the film. For sheer frights, Lee's take on the Count isn't to the level of Schreck's Nosferatu or even Oldman's 1990's version. Cushing's Van Helsing character was the best I've seen. He was relentless in both his pursuit of Dracula and the protection potential victims. He brings charisma, brains and athleticism to the role. This is a great old Horror film.

Sleep well, Mr. Harker.

The Curse of Frankenstein was coining it in at the box office, so Hammer Films were quick to negotiate a deal to reinvent Dracula on the big screen. Certain agreements were made as per distribution rights for Universal, who owned the rights via a deal that was struck decad More

RELEASED IN 1958 and directed by Terence Fisher, "Horror of Dracula" chronicles events when Jonathan Harker (John Van Eyssen) goes to Dracula’s castle under the pretense of a librarian. Later, the Prince of Darkness travels to Ka More

Dracula, or Horror of Dracula, is a pretty by-the-numbers Dracula film.

This one, in particular, focuses on Dr. Van Helsing, giving the titular character very few scenes. Regardless, the acting is effective in most of the main characters, including Dracula himself.

This film doesn't stretch t More
