Synopsis

Whilst vacationing in the Carpathian Mountain, two couples stumble across the remains of Count Dracula's castle. The Count's trusted servant kills one of the men, suspending the body over the Count's ashes so that the blood drips from the corpse and saturates the blackened remains. The ritual is completed, the Count revived and his attentions focus on the dead man's wife who is to become his partner; devoted to an existence of depravity and evil.

GazerRise Fantastic!
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
rdoyle29 There's a lot of good you can say about Hammer's first Dracula sequel to actually feature Dracula again. It's great to have Lee back, and although Cushing is absent except in some footage at the beginning culled from "Horror of Dracula", Andrew Keir steps into a similar role in this film, and he's always an asset. On the downside, the plot is not terribly strong. The way in which Dracula is resurrected is fine, but the plot is largely driven by the main characters acting in unbelievably stupid ways. There's some dispute about why Dracula has no dialogue in this film ... Lee claimed he refused to read the terrible dialogue provided, but Jimmy Sangster claimed that no dialogue was ever written for him. Whatever the reason, it's a great move as the silent Dracula in this film seems as his most monstrous and feral.
jacobjohntaylor1 This is a sequel The brides of Dracula. It is one of the scariest movies you will ever see. It has a great story line. It also has a great acting. It also has great special effects. After being killed in the horror of Dracula. A man who has made packet with Dracula to become a vampire resurrects Dracula. This movie is very intense. Dracula has risen from the grave it better. But only by a little bite. This is a very scary movie. Taste the blood of Dracula is also better. But only by a little bite. This one of the scariest movies of all time. Scares of Dracula is better. But only by a little bite. This movie is great. Dracula A.D 1972 is a little better. But only be a little bite. This is a very scary movie.
SanteeFats The opening of this movie shows the demise of Dracula from the first movie of the same name. This film drags some in my opinion until Dracula is raised by having his remains covered in the blood of an Englishman who is one of four idiots who stop at the castle. They had been warned not too but being modernists for that time ignore all the warnings. Even the one from the dead guys wife who had premonitions of evil. The wife is lured to the cellar where she is turned into a bride of Dracula. Now it is the younger couples turn. Oops not so fast, they use the cross to escape the castle, jump into a carriage and rush away. The carriage over turns and the young wife is knocked out. So far Dracula seems to be acting on nothing but animal instincts. He doesn't talk only hisses. Anyway the Bishop of the area comes across the scene and takes the couple to his abbey. The servant of Dracula is now shown driving a small wagon which is shown to have two coffins inside. Now I wonder just who is in them? Stopping at the abbey he tries to get shelter inside for the night but is denied. This puzzles me as I thought vampires could stand on Holy ground? Oh well what do I know? So Drac gets invited in by a nut case named Ludwig who is under his influence. The unconscious wife has recovered and opens a window to the bad guys. She gets bitten but the Bishop cauterizes it which saves her at least temporarily. The friars catch the woman vampire and stake her. So now we are down to just Drac, maybe. Ludwig helps Dracula kidnap the young wife and using the wagon race back to the castle where they will be safe. The Bishop and the husband go in pursuit, intercept the wagon, kill the driver. They save the wife but Drac's coffin slides inside the castle onto the frozen moat (?). He wakes as the husband comes to stake him, they fight for a short time, the wife takes a shot that misses but breaks the ice. Running water will kill him so he tries to run but the Bishop now uses the rifle to break up more ice and Dracula loses again.
dworldeater Christopher Lee is evil incarnate in this awesome sequel to The Horror Of Dracula. Recently resurrected by his loyal servant Clove, he returns to drain the blood of English travelers that recently visited his castle. Dracula Prince Of Darkness is a moody, but very straight forward Gothic horror movie directed by Hammer legend Terence Fischer. As far as Hammer goes, Terence Fischer is the best of the best and worked with the best(Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing) on some of Hammer's most important films. James Bernard did a simple but effective score to create foreboding atmosphere combined with the classic Hammer sets. The film still looks great and the classic Hammer sets are always great to look at as well. Speaking of which, Hammer always has great eyecandy as well, with gorgeous English actresses with big boobs. The cast is excellent. Christopher Lee's immense, malevolent presence is one of a kind and he delivers an unhinged, diabolical performance without uttering a word! His nemesis, Andrew Keir is also very impressive, as a large, rugged shotgun wielding priest, who aid the British travelers when they encounter Dracula. Of the Hammer Dracula movies, Dracula Prince Of Darkness is my personal favorite and the one I watch the most.
