Horror Of Dracula

( 8 )

Overview

The Hammer Studios classic Horror of Dracula is far closer to the letter and spirit of the Bram Stoker novel than the Bela Lugosi version of Dracula.

More About This Product

Overview

The Hammer Studios classic Horror of Dracula is far closer to the letter and spirit of the Bram Stoker novel than the Bela Lugosi version of Dracula. Lawyer Jonathan Harker John Van Eyssen arrives in Transylvania to close a real estate transaction with the reclusive Count Dracula Christopher Lee, discovering all too late that his client is a vampire, who intends to suck the blood out of every available neck in England. Once ensconced at Carfax Abbey, Dracula puts Harker's fiancee Lucy Carol Marsh under his spell. It's up to Dr. Van Helsing and his seemingly bottomless bag of crucifixes and stakes to attempt to save the day. Dracula's demise is staged in spectacular fashion, best seen in you'll pardon the pun full-blooded Technicolor. Only two carps: Why do all the Transylvanian peasants speak in Cockney accents? And where's that old bug-eater Renfield?

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide
With so many mediocre vampire films, the few which are truly excellent often get lost in the static. Terence Fisher's 1958 Dracula is easily one of the best, and it proves just how important good writing, acting and directing can be in a time-tested genre. The performances are stellar: Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee make their respective roles of Dr. Van Helsing and the Count uniquely their own. Screenwriter Jimmy Sangster's condenses Bram Stoker's novel, shifting most events to Dracula's castle and sharpening the material's dialogue and pacing. Appropriately atmospheric and dark, the film adds enough touches of humor and sexuality to update the tale's heretofore staid feel. Fisher's Dracula is a must-see not just for devotees of modern horror but also for fans of good storytelling in general.

    Christopher Lee, The Definitive Dracula

    Oh I know, all the professional reviewers call Bela Lugosi ,Frank Langella, Michael Nouri,et al the definitive Dracula portrayals.Now I have seen and enjoyed them all, including the aforementioned gentlemen, but I also know who scared the heck out of me when I was a kid.When I saw Christopher Lee in Horror of Dracula I was hooked.I also slept with the light on for a week.In the many times I have seen this movie since I have never failed to notice how well it stands the test of time.The portrayal of the Count by Mr.Lee displays an elegance and nobility which indeed enhances the ferocity of the character.The combination of suspense,intensity and the talents of the sterling cast make this film just as fresh and exciting as it was in 1958.

    The Crown Jewel of the Hammer Series

    Eiither you are a fan of the Universal horror releases or the Hammer films. If you have not developed a preference, then you should consider 'Horror of Dracula' as your initial venture into the genre. As a teen, I was thrilled & chilled by the late night TV fare. Christopher Lee was probably the best portrayer of the Count and Peter Cushing's Van Helsing has no equal in the role. This adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel more closely follows the story line than any other with the exception of the location not changing to England after the initial sequences featuring Jonathan Harker's visit to Castle Dracula. And although it took 8 years for a sequel, the sequels cannot match the original.

    Two horror masters in one picture.

    'Horror of Dracula' is one of the great Hammer Film horror classics. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are smashing in this movie that I've seen several times in the Saturday afternoon horror matinee downtown as a teenager. It's classic!
