Review of Dracula (1958) by Michael G — 19 May 2010
Horror of Dracula has got to be one of Hammer's best. Any time you get Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee together in front of the camera with Terence Fisher behind it, you're going to be hard pressed to go wrong.
Fisher creates eerie atmosphere (the first shot of Dracula alone is scary as hell) and even the dated but still effective make up don't bring Horror of Dracula down. Cushing is THE Van Helsing just as Lee is THE Dracula and this movie is a damn near perfect showcase for both actors at the height of their powers.
Great, great stuff.
