Viewing Notes
I don’t believe I’ve seen this before. A really interesting follow up to HORROR OF DRACULA which roles with Dracula being killed in the previous film and so extends the story by focusing on his “cult of followers” in the form of another vampire.
Great sets, lighting and cinematography coupled with wonderful acting and a semi-original take on the material shoot this one high up my list of Hammer films.
