Customer Reviews

The Best Hammer Dracula Film !
Granted it's not "Horror of Dracula" or "Dracula: Prince of Darkness", But this has to one of the best because Christopher Lee has more to do in this one than in any of the others, He has more screen time than in the first film. I like this one also because Dracula has some cool moments in the film such as branding poor Patrick Troughton's back with a red hot sword. This film deserves another look, Christopher Lee dispite his low opinion of the film has more dialogue and screen time than in the early ones or the later ones.

Great Film

SCARS OF DRACULA!
This was Hammer's last gothic Dracula. Although it turned out to be the weakest in series thus far. Previous reviews have pointed out that it completely breaks away from the series with it unexplained opening, and Dracula's massacre of the villagers. The film is much gorier than any of the previous films with graphic moments of bloodletting and moments of sadistic violence (Dracula burning klove with a white hot spoke). Christopher Lee is at his most physically imposing, with death white palour and blood shot eyes. The film includes incidents from the original book such as Dracula scaling the wall of his castle.
But it is the ending that REALLY is the high point of the film, when the Count is struck by lighting, bursts into flames and falls from the castle wall. But the film's length is a strain, and I would only recommend it for Hammer completists.

Another Dracula yarn from the hammer team
This film isn't the best of the Dracula movies by any means, but if you like this genre then you'll find it all mildly amusing.

A young Dennis Waterman (complete with uncharacteristic posh accent) goes in search of his brother who is on the run due to a false allegation of rape from the local burgermeister's daughter. As expected, all roads lead to Dracula's large gaffe. The body count is rather high here (five plus a churchload of villagers) and there's plenty of fangs on display.

Interestingly, Dracula meets a rather unusual end in this one - and 'dies' like many golfers have.

Don't expect great special effects - this is 1970 and low budget (you'll particularly notice this when it comes to the bats), but overall this is a watchable 90 minute film straight off the Hammer press.
