Review of House of Dracula (1945) by Donald W — 10 Aug 2015

This is a cheap knockoff of the old monster movies. The story surrounds a doctor/scientist who lives in an old castle. He is approached by Dracula in search of a cure to vampirism. He finds the cause in the blood but manages to infect himself.

He is then approached by the Wolfman for the same reason. While trying to be cured the Wolfman discovers a cave under the castle with Frankenstein's monster buried in the mud. In the rest of the movie the doctor destroys Dracula, kills a villager, cures the Wolfman, brings Frankenstein's monstor back to life, and then is destroyed by a mob of villagers.

Although Dracula is in the title of the movie, Dracula is hardly in the movie. The whole story is contrived. Everything happens too conveniently.
