Review of The Brides of Dracula (1960) by Forrest K — 26 Nov 2010
Brides of Dracula lacks the titular villain, as well as the iconic presence of Christopher Lee, but David Peel makes up for it with sheer manic energy as this film's marauding vampire. Peter Cushing returns, badass as ever, especially in the climactic conclusion.
While the film is book-ended by strong, entrancing set pieces, the middle loses its energy by meandering too much. Still, Hammer's trademark atmosphere is in full effect.
