The Vampire Rises Once More

Dracula- is a great movie. Hammer films is a excellent studio, cause their brought back the universal monsters and put their own spin on it. And with Dracula their put their own spin on Dracula. And did it work, yes.

First Christopher Lee played as the creature in The Curse of Frankenstien, now he plays as Dracula. When you think of Dracula you think of Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee played Dracula more times then Bela Lugosi. But both actors are iconic, legends and icons.

The plot: On a search for his missing friend Jonathan Harker (John Van Eyssen), vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) is led to Count Dracula's (Christopher Lee) castle. Upon arriving, Van Helsing finds an undead Harker in Dracula's crypt and discovers that the count's next target is Harker's ailing fiancée, Lucy Holmwood (Carol Marsh). With the help of her brother, Arthur (Michael Gough), Van Helsing struggles to protect Lucy and put an end to Count Dracula's parasitic reign of terror.

In the United States, the film was retitled Horror of Dracula to avoid confusion with the U.S. original by Universal Pictures, 1931's Dracula.

Its a excllent film.

A huge Disappointment

Out With Boredom

The Satanic Rites of Dracula- was a huge disappointment. It was boring, and only was intresting when Dracula was on screen. The first 30 minutes doesnt seem like a dracula film, i was confused on what i was watching. It sad because this was the last time you get to see Christopher Lee as Dracula. And it was a disappointment.

The plot: British-made chiller about a blood-thirsty count who takes up residence in modern London to develop a new strain of bubonic plague, with the evil intention of annihilating all life on Earth.

Work began on what was tentatively titled Dracula is Dead...and Well and Living in London in November 1972.

The film itself is a mixture of horror, science fiction and a spy thriller, with a screenplay by Don Houghton, a veteran of BBC's Doctor Who. This is the problem its trying to be more sci-fi and a spy thriller than horror.

This was the final Hammer film that Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing would make together. The two stars would eventually reunite one more time in House of the Long Shadows, ten years later.

A huge let down.

You Stack it, We Pack it.

Life should be good when you are a daughter of Aphrodite, or a daughter of Morrigan. But that’s not what the fates had in mind for Cherry and Ebony. The two women get stuck together in the human realm to return a favor their mothers owe that will change their lives forever.

Appointed as the Karma collectors, they have the perfect opportunity to grow into their powers, only if they can look past their differences and embrace the destiny unfolding at their feet.

Having thieves as their fated mates was never part of the plan.

When Thor’s hammer gets stolen, it’s time to dash out some karma and collect on the sin. That’s where their troubles begin. Although they don’t like each other, they must work together unless they want to pay penance in the underworld for a century.

This whole mates thing must be a mixup, the only thing both of them agree on.

Plus it can’t be hard to deliver karma to humans, right?

Wrong.
