Viewing Notes
I was shocked to discover that I’d actually seen this before, because it wasn’t familiar to me at all. This is the first of Hammer’s DRACULA (aka HORROR OF DRACULA in the US) films and it’s a pretty fun watch. I really liked its unique spin on Stoker’s story.

Saw your tweet and was like “yeah you have!” Haha this is happening more and more to me lately. Not sure if it’s just consuming too much or old age. Probably both! :)

Yeah, I agree, I think it’s both! So funny, the longer into the movie I got the more convinced I was that I hadn’t seen it. Then I logged it and sure enough!
