Viewing Notes
Interesting to see Christopher Lee portray Dracula in a non-Hammer production. Feels a been restrained esp. given Franco’s tendencies. I know there’s a story here on why Lee did this film outside of Hammer but I’ve forgotten it. Despite not being a Hammer release much of it feels like one. The one difference is the camera movement; there’s a lot more movement here than you’d see in Hammer’s works around that time. Kinski isn’t really used enough however.
