Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972)

Van Helsing & Drac Are Back


I actually like this movie. It's a refreshing change in the Lee Dracula Hammer series. It is very interesting to see Lee's Dracula set in a modern time era (1972) -- but that didn't seem to phase Dracula at all.

I enjoyed Johnny Alucard and his friends resurrecting Dracula and what happens to them afterwards. This part of the story really is captivating - just as much as Dracula.

So pleased that Peter Cushing is back as Prof. Abraham van Helsing, the descendant of Dr. Lawrence van Helsing. Prof. Helsing is on the trail of the resurrected Dracula as his ancestor before him. (See: Dracula aka Horror of Dracula 1958).

It's always a great film when Cushing and Lee are together - their presence alone will make any drab film worthwhile. Once again, the duo does not disappoint in Dracula A.D. 1972.

8.5/10
