COUNT DRACULA AND HIS VAMPIRE BRIDE
(AKA: THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA)(1973)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics

Hammer, Lee, Caine & Cushing! Add nudity & blood
and you get this! Not terible, but a little more
bloody than I care for! C+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

The last of the Christopher Lee Dracula series
[the Count would make one more brief return for
Hammer in the guise of John Forbes-Robertson in
The Legend Of The Seven Golden Vampires] is not
exactly a success, but it's a good deal more
interesting than the shoddy Dracula AD 1972.
There are quite a few new ideas in this one,
although they are not organised well and it
does become a bit of a mess. However, dull
it isn't, unlike the previous one.

We have satanists practising sacrificial rites,
a mad scientist with a deadly virus, a Howard
Hughes-type recluse who turns out to be....., biker
assassins with guns, you name it. Much of it has
an Avengers feel, and Dracula is unsurprisingly
hardly in the film, with only one brief appearance
until the final twenty minutes. There's more
action than horror, but two vampire scenes in
a cellar are well done. The effects of Dracula's
death sequence are excellent, although the scene
is silly, with this most accident prone of vampires
simply walking into a rose bush.

Not really a good film, but kind of fun. It does
suggest interesting pathways which Hammer might
have taken the series if the response to this
had not been so poor. - DrLenera
