❝Since the death of Jonathan Harker, Count Dracula, the propagator of this unspeakable evil, has disappeared. He must be found and destroyed!❞
· · ───── ·⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆· ───── · ·

For a film called Dracula there's a surprising lack of the titular character. Nevertheless, this colour iteration of the horror icon's story has some great performances and a compelling story. Christopher Lee's portrayal of Dracula isn't necessarily as menacing as Bela Lugosi's 1931 version, but he's strangely more enticing and weirdly romantic (I do have to note that he doesn't say 'bleh bleh bleh' 💔). I really liked Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing, and Michael Gough as Arthur Holmwood, but I wish Mina and Lucy got some more screen-time. The plot changes the story in comparison to Bram Stoker's original novel, but not in a bad way, though the ending for me was very rushed. I liked the atmospheric lighting and the beautiful sets, and the costumes were very well done. All in all, a really good film, and seeing as it's the first 'Dracula' film in colour, I can see why it's so beloved.

really love classic dracula like this. like dude is wearing a legit cape. cannot go wrong with that. peter cushing's outfits go crazy as well. christopher lee was literally made for this role and i wish he was in the movie even more!

highlights: 1. scene with dracula's coffin in the basement and cushing absolutely FLINGING himself over bannisters and through doors to catch up with dracula2. dracula melting scene

for some reason the question i was left with was what are they going to do with the massive castle, now sans resident. immediately started picturing an hgtv style tv episode of selling castle dracula

It was fun
When you watch a hammer horror don’t expect something Oscar worthy 
It’s just a good time

i think johnathan harker is spiritually destined to be a dumbass. there’s no saving him. also i can’t tell any of these people apart they are all the same people.
