Review of Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968) by Rob M — 30 Jul 2009
Certainly a guilty pleasure, but this "Dracula" has just enough going for it for recommendation. Christopher Lee is fantastic, and is presented as more of a sexual predator than a monster in this incarnation (which is highly understandable, as his two female victims are highly alluring).
I also enjoyed the larger role of faith in this battle of good vs. evil. Peter Cushing is missed as Dracula's antagonist, but the German townspeople seem nice enough folk to rally behind. The funky color film processed shots of the Count get a little irritating, and the cowardly priest who revives him probably deserved a stronger resolution, but I liked all of the rooftop, cellar, and mountainside action.
