From the pure genius of Hammer films, this film is arguably the best Dracula film ever made, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing It still delivers plenty of atmosphere and chills, and gives you that over all creepiness that Hammer was built for.
The movie basically follows the traditional Bram Stoker’s Dracula storyline, but this time Jonathan Harker is killed before he can leave Dracula’s castle. Meanwhile back in London, Dracula meets his match in the form of Van Helsing, played expertly by Peter Cushing.
The real highlight of this film is Christopher Lee, the greatest and most convincing Dracula who ever graced the silver screen. He hardly has any dialogue but doesn't really need it, however his very presence is menacing and you truly get the sense that Van Helsing and his brood are in way over their heads when they try to go up against him.
