[Bea’s Reviews] Satanic Rites Of Dracula (1973)
“Satanic Rites Of Dracula (1973)” You will either find “The Satanic Rites of Dracula” extremely awesome or extremely idiotic simply because of how… inventive it is. Rather of Dracula simply being content to hunt down quivering virgins (yeah, tough luck of that happening in the 70’s), the Count’s ambitions actually soar a lot higher than … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula AD (1972)
“Dracula AD (1970)” OH THE PAIN, THE PAIN! The quote so famously bellowed by Doctor Smith from “Lost In Space” in the title should give enough indication that sitting through this movie without a braced mind is enough to give any self-respecting film lover a migraine. What could have been a novel concept was quickly … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Scars Of Dracula (1970)
“Scars Of Dracula (1970)” The fifth but far from final excursion into Dracula’s world by Hammer- “Scars of Dracula” is the type of film which really tests a Dracula fan’s loyalty- will you go along with it, or will you despise it with every fibre of your being due to it’s outlandish take on the … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Taste The Blood Of Dracula (1970)
“Taste The Blood Of Dracula (1970)” While “Taste The Blood of Dracula” is not (to me) as solid as the first three canonical Dracula films from Hammer, it doesn’t have the distinct whiff of crap-burger the follow-ups have. Indeed, after watching it again specifically for this review, I can say that it would have actually worked … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (1968)
“Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (1968)” Don’t you just LOVE this poster? Pink band-aids, front cleavage AND sarcasm? By 1968, it was no secret that Christopher Lee was the undisputed Dracula of the generation. Lee had appeared in quite a few other Hammer productions and they had all been quite successful, but his bread … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula: Prince Of Darkness (1966)
“Dracula: Prince Of Darkness (1966) Dracula- Prince of Darkness” could have failed miserably. It shouldn’t have had the right to have been made, because at heart, Hammer Horror was more about getting the green than truly entertaining it’s fans. Yet, despite these technicalities, “DPOD” really is a worthy follow-up to the it’s predecessor. While ”Brides … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Horror Of Dracula (1958)
“Horror Of Dracula” (1958) While Lugosi’s Count of Counts was generally a one-off affair, Dracula was resurrected again by Hammer Films in the formidable shape of Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee which turned out to become a long-running franchise full of hits and misses. While the 70’s Hammer fully embraced sex, blood and nudity, in … Continue reading
