Cert. 15 Length: 82 mins. Available on: Warner Home Video Price: £12.99 Director: Terence Fisher Starring: Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee With: Melissa Stribling, Michael Gough, Carol Marsh, John Van Eyssen, Valerie Gaunt, Miles Malleson Plot: A Transylvanian count arrives in England and looks for blood... in other words, Bram Stoker's Dracula gets the Hammer treatment. Comments: Hooray! At long last the original Hammer Dracula has been released on video. Although our American friends have had access to it ever since videos were invented, for some reason known only to the distributors and TV companies, we have always been denied owning this masterpiece legally.Well, now it's finally here. But was it worth the wait? Yes, of course it was! Hammer's Dracula is the quintessential vampire film for all lovers of the genre. So it may not be strictly accurate to the book (but then again, what Hammer film is?), but it is certainly the most enjoyable and watchable version ever made. Forget Francis Ford Coppola and his load of old nonsense, this is what we want! A great atmosphere, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing fighting it out, beautiful actresses, rubber bats on wires, and all done on a budget which wouldn't even pay for Keanu Reeves' voice coach in a modern production! There is nothing else to say... just buy it, stick it in your VCR, sit back and enjoy it! Dr Blood's rating: 10/10 |
