Review of Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972) by Megan M — 15 Apr 2008
To update the series, Hammer moved Dracula into the 70's. The move was needed at the time as the series was beginning to get quite poor - although Scars of Dracula was one of my favourite of the Hammer Dracula's.
This move would have been seen as quite revlutionary at the time, but now looks extremely dated. Dracula has no part in the funky 'peace man' 70's scene, and may as well have been in his own little film.
It has its moments and the dialogue is much better than previous efforts, but Dracula AD 1972 fails on many levels. Its good to see Cushing back in the series - but Lee looks tired and bored of the whole thing - and it shows.
