Review of Dracula's Daughter (1936) by Leonard D — 18 Jul 2015

Dracula's Daughter is the sequel to the very successful Dracula from 1931, starring Bela Lugosi. Instead of having the Count return in some fashion, they decided to go in a different direction altogether.

Edward Van Sloan reprises his role as Dr. Von Helsing, but this time around, there isn't much to the proceedings that are as effective as the original movie. Gloria Holden's Countess struggles with being a vampire while we struggle not to get up and turn the movie off.

Neither scary nor or all that interesting, it's easy to see why this movie has been neglected for so many years and almost never mentioned in the same breath as the first.
