Review of The Brides of Dracula (1960) by David L — 08 Oct 2008
I liked this sequel, to Hammer's 1958 Dracula, almost better then the original.
Sure the acting is chalked full of wholesome cheesy goodness, and the plot has some prominent vacuities. For 1960, The Brides of Dracula is a classic.
I am addicted to vampire movies in general. For my money, no one did Dr. Van Helsing better then Peter Cushing. I really like the naive nature that Marrianne's character has in this film. Besides, with a name like Marrianne Dannielle, you know there has to be a high Gorgonzola factor. Yvonne Monlaur is pulchritudinous, and played the role well.
If you are a fan of the classic horrors, or a vampire movie buff, you must see 1960's The Brides Of Dracula.
Fun fact : For being the sequel to Dracula, Count Dracula is only actually mentioned twice, in the entire film. Once in the Beginning, and once by Dr. Van Helsing.
