Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
troywhigham-814-917107 *** SPOILER ALERT *** There's a special place in my heart for movies that try to be more than they should really be, and this is one of those movies. It almost makes me wish it was still possible to make this type of movie, but unfortunately the easy access to digital cameras, posting on the Internet, and digital downloading have made the panache of these films irrelevant. In other words, anybody can make this movie in a couple of weekends with some willing girlfriends and turn out something with better sound and special effects, and that cheapens the appreciation of these old-school nudie cuties.Nonetheless, this movie should be taken for what it is - a low-budget sex-comedy that sought to become famous by shocking the Midwest moral sensibilities of its intended audience (which would be men). How this escaped becoming a drive-in staple is beyond me. "Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS" is more shocking, "Halloween" is more scary, and "Bloodsucking Freaks" is more campy. Still, this movie does have some redeeming traits. For one thing, it has a decent plot concept. Second, the women are full-nude. Third, well, the women are full-nude. That counts for a lot in this genre.The general premise is that Dracula has found his new home in a cave, like any bat would. Considering that this film was made thirty years after Lon Chaney donned a cape, the special effects aren't any better (if anything, they're worse). But that adds to the charm. Its as if the producer is saying, "Look, I had to communicate a plot device to you, and I couldn't do what I wanted so I did what I could. OK?" So don't be hating too much on cloddy special effects. Just suspend your disbelief a bit more.Like all vampires before him, this one needs a helper, so he tricks a reporter into coming into the Bat Cave, where Dracula changes him into a werewolf-jackal thing, which looks a lot like a bad wolf costume in a decent (for the 70's) leisure suit. In order to be cured of the jackal-ness, the reporter must fetch the vampire fresh, young women so that he can drink their blood. The women he fetches are attractive by 70's standards and surprisingly don't have tan lines, which leads to me wonder about the casting director's methods because obviously they were cast for their bodies and not their acting credits. In total, there are six women - blonds, brunettes, and a redhead. The redhead is by far the most attractive and gets the most screen time and acting opportunities. Three of the women are bound crux-style in the cave, to be used for feeding. Instead of biting their necks, he bites their breasts, so they're kept nude during the entire film (always a plus in a film like this). A hot brunette is molested by Jackalmann in a soft-porn sequence, then killed (a shame, really). Lastly, the hot redhead (the reporter's girlfriend before he became Jackalmann) is taken into the cave where Dracula attempts to rape her. Jackalmann tries to fight him off, but is defeated. During the scuffle, the hot redhead attempts to escape but gets lost. She's recaptured and Dracula tries again to rape her. Instead, Jackalmann intervenes again. By now the sun is starting to come up and Dracula must return to his coffin. But it is too late. He burns up in the rays of the sun, the captive women fade away into nothingness, Jackalmann returns to being just a reporter, and the redhead wakes up naked in the cave with her reporter boyfriend just as confused as she is. She gets dressed, but not for long, for obviously they had gone into the cave to have sex, had a bad trip on something, and never consummated their love-making. So, they get to it! Any movie that has that as the epilogue must be alright in my book.My advice - don't watch this movie with the sound on. You don't need it. Sound never worked at drive-ins anyway. You can follow the plot just fine by looking at the screen in-between kisses with Marybeth Rottencrotch and fumbling with her bra strap clasp through her sweater. Don't watch it because you expect high-quality filmmaking. Watch it because you expect low-quality entertainment that's high on nudity and short on plot.
Johann I haven't seen this film in awhile, but remember it pretty vividly. The film was obviously shot on a really low budget and without any real actors. It has a kind of "Manos" feel to it, but with nudity and even worse special effects. There are bats that are obviously on wires and some pretty cheesy costumes. The guy doing Dracula's voice sounds like an old Jewish man (I don't know where the hell they got the idea to make Dracula Jewish, considering he was Transylvanian). The only thing that I liked about this movie is that it didn't take itself seriously at all.Count Dracula is living in an abandoned mine in the middle of nowhere. He invites a local reporter to visit him (he goes under the pseudonym of Alucard, hee hee hee, like nobody's ever heard that before). When the inept reporter gets there, Dracula turns him into a pretty crappy looking wolf man, named Irving Jackelmann (enough with the Jewish jokes already). Dracula then sends him out to catch beautiful girls for him to tie up, love up and drain dry. Dracula takes a hankering for the reporter's girl friend and ends up chasing her around his cave.The opening ten minutes have some really awful stream of consciousness speech by the reporter involving the blue mountains, behind the blue mountains, behind the blue mountains (we get it already). Dracula's accent is just plain annoying. Irving Jackelmann also proves to be pretty bad. The chase scene, for the love of God, was only a nude woman running around the same set for an excruciatingly long time. The nudity can't save it and the jokes, although trying hard to be campy, are just plain dumb.Avoid unless you can spare a few brain cells.
blind Io Saw this movie a couple of years ago as part of a very very small film festival. I remember we where about 8 or 10 people there, and one of the participants threatent to walk out and have his movie back which kind of scared the arranger since he would loose about 10% of his income on the show. He kept saying that the guy should hold on and wait, the next movie would make everything all right. Sadly this was not so, until Dracula (The Dirty Old Man) was shown (about # 6 in the show I think out of 8). The guy who had complained was, like the rest of us, completely shocked. The completely ridicuoles dialog and everything cramped into the movie to make it appear longer, the sudden scene with no connection to the rest of the plot of older man with a young girl (probably the producer wanting to get something out of the nude girls himself, and also by far the most pretty girl in the film) and the naked women being raped by a fully dressed werewolf saved the festival for that guy complaining, completely taking back everything he had said and praising the show for being so strange he could do nothing else but love it. And the arranger saved is 10% loss.
zaza-3 A big piece of ****! But the scene with the werewolf is so ridiculous, you won't believe it! Also, consider that even in original version it's not synchro. Super low budget movie.Actually, this is a good movie to watch when you wanna have fun with your friends. Hard to find also. A must see for the bad movies fans!
