Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Puritanical high society searching for new experiences
Review: The sequences when the dealer awake in the forest under a deep dark night and hear sharp screams of pain, are disturbing. The convincing acting of Ralph Bates is great.
I like the love story between Alice and Paul accompanied by the romantic score of James Bernard. I enjoy the scene when they arrive from the ball by night and talk and dream together in front the fountain of her garden. I like the fine shots of the landscapes in autumm.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Classic Hammer horror.
Review: This film is one of the best entries in Hammer's Dracula series. This despite the fact that Christopher Lee is not given a whole lot to do as Dracula. However, the acting (for the most part), directing, cinematography, and dark storyline (which exposes the dark side of the wealthy elite and deals with the sins of the fathers being visited upon the children) all more than compensate for that injustice. The score is well done and thankfully not as bombastic as some of the other Dracula scores. Though the ending is a bit confusing (Perhaps this is the result of cuts made for the American version. I don't really know.), the film is certainly one of the better latter day Hammer films and a definite cut above such later entries as THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA and the beyond abysmal DRACULA A.D. 1972. See this film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: TASTE IT !!!
Review: This is a very nice Dracula movie. Once you hit the PLAY button, you just can't stop watching it. I would rate it 5 stars if it had the same "mood" as in "Dracula Has Risen From The Grave". I wish Christopher Lee had more screen time, though. Sexy "neck-biting" scenes for vampire fans.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: REVENGE WITH THE FANG
Review: THIS IS VERY GOOD FILM IN THE DRACULA SERIES FROM HAMMER PRODUCTION.THE STORY IS FAST PACE AND FULL OF SUSPENCE AS THREE UPPER-CLASS MEN GET INVOLVED WITH A MAN WHO BRINGS BACK DRACULA FROM DEAD. THEY KILL THE MAN AND DRACULA GOES AFTER THREE MEN'S FAMILY.THE DVD IS PERFECT PICTURE AND SOUND.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Poor Sequel to a Really Scarry Movie
Review: This one lacks the bone chilling horror of its predecessor (Dracula Has Risen From the Grave) and uses a very "audience insulting" way of bringing back Dracula from the dead. Dracula, impaled on a cross at the end of the last film has turned to red dust. He is brought back by a guy who puts the dust in a goblet and mixes in some of his own blood to make the ultimate "bloody mary," which he drinks and then he himself turns into Dracula. I remember being scared out of my wits by the earlier movie and being bored by this one. I definately recommend getting that one instead.

Summary: bloody good !
Review: well we had prety much given up hope of ever seeing a decent version of this classic Dracula adventure when Warner anounced
it's release in an unbutchered state.the image is flawless , the sound is good if not expansive but the real treat is that the 4 minutes missing from every print released so far has this time been included.The bordelo scene is now free of the savage editing done by warner in the early 70's to be able to market it to the kiddies.The other additions are very short scenes juged to violent at the time.The result is a film that flows better & has a stronger story & that's it rates a 5 on my scale.
review of the DVD edition

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good story about having children turn on their parents
Review: Well, this time around, Dracula is not the killer, except for when he kills Lucy. He turns the children of the three thrill seekers against them for killing off his "servant". Christopher Lee is great as always playing the count, but it makes you wonder what the point even was of having him in the film. He does not even appear until 45 minutes into it, just when you think the film has nowhere to go.

The version I bought has an "R" rating, although I do not see the difference from the old "PG" videos. Yes, there are a couple of scenes added back like when one person is staked to death and has blood on his face. They also show women barebreasted for a moment, but other than that, what was so "R" about it?

A good sequel, and of course, it leaves the door open for another one.
