Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for horror fans. If you loved Dracula or The Curse of Frankenstein, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

In the shadow of Castle Dracula, the Prince of Darkness is revived by blood trickling from the head-wound of an unconscious priest attempting exorcism. And once more fear and terror strikes Transylvania as the undead Prince of Darkness stalks the village of Keineneburg to ensnare victims and satisfy his evil thirst.
