Review of Count Dracula (1970) by Ken S — 02 Nov 2015

The production quality was so horrible, was this intentional? Screen tearing, sound hiccups, they had to be running the worst VHS copy of this movie ever on Movies! Wow, my phone really tried to autocorrect VHS, that tells you something! Anyway, this movie claims it's the first film adaption to remain as loyal as possible to the famous novel by Bran Stoker.

All I know, is that it follows in line very closely with the events of Nosferatu and especially the two '31 cuts. Now, with that being said. The movie is boring. The beginning is slow, the general pacing of the film is bad and drawn out.

You question why people aren't dying or why vampires can survive in the daytime. It's a mess. As expected, Christopher Lee played his role to a T, he's not the problem and neither really are the other actors.

I enjoyed this version of Van Helsing. He was more accurate to what I envisioned him to be, agewise.
