Review of Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966) by Stephen C — 24 Jul 2011

DRACULA in CINEMASCOPE . . . no Peter Cushing except in the pre-credits sequence where the 1:33.1 aspect ratio of the predecessor where Van Helsing literally destroys Count Dracula is surrounded by fog to "extinguish" the dead-space created by the 2:35.1 aspect ratio of the cinema-scope framing.

Dracula has only one scene of dialog and grunts and growls whenever he's on screen.

The "chaste" woman is bitten and vampirized and that is a little sad for me because she really didn't seem to deserved being turned into a vampiress.

. . . its a classic . . . yet it is worse than Horror of Dracula.
