Review of Dracula (1958) by Ken S — 07 Nov 2014
This Hammer Horror version of Bram Stoker's tale is possibly the best version of the famed vampire I have ever seen on screen. I've always felt bored by the Bela Lugosi version, despite the great atmosphere and my admitted love of classic Universal monster films.
..but this version is more exciting, more sensual, scarier...and just plain more fun all around. Christopher Lee is just as good as Lugosi was in the role if not better...and the Peter Cushing is a fine hero in Van Helsing.
There is plenty to enjoy in this feature, and I'd recommend it to any classic horror fan.
