Dracula (1974)


EMI Distribution (UK)
Directed by Dan Curtis
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, MPI)

An English real estate agent in Transylvania finds himself the victim of a vampire. Count Dracula recognizes a girl in one of his photos as his long lost love from the medieval ages, so travels to England to find her. After being bitten, Dr. Van Helsing is called in to cure her, but to everyone's horror declares she is a vampire and sets out with friend Simon Ward to find and destroy him. A very faithful adaptation of the Bram Stoker story, beautifully shot on English and Transylvanian locations. Jack Palance is a surprisingly effective Dracula.
