Dracula runs away most of the film! Why doesn't he just transform as a bat? What the hell is he doing manually burying some woman alive? Why does he not just kill her? How can Helsing simply push him away at the end?
It's too bad that younger audiences only seem to know Cushing and Lee from the Star Wars movies. These guys DID have careers before George Lucas came along. Just saying.
To me they will always be the best Van Helsing and Dracula to ever grace the silver screen.
@snakes3425 My comments on your list: Carlos V. to me was the only thing really negative on the Spanish version. Just not a good actor. Gary Oldman did great with the way he was asked to play the part, but I hated the way he was asked to play it! :^) Never heard of Richard Roxburg, so have to look him up.
one of the best movie that no one will ever play like christopher lee and peter cushing ever and i dont think no actors can beat them two ...... beauitful film and well done for that time in the 1950s and love the colour too ...
The music was always a great part of all of these Hammer Films. This one was far superior to Bela Lugosi's film in 1933 or so. Although the characters were mixed up from the ones in the Bram Stoker novel.
this is the best DRACULA movie of all-time...maybe the best horror movie..when i first saw this it scared the hell out of me..CHRISTOPHER LEE was the most violent DRACULA..2 best scenes..LEE bursting in adorned with facial blood and full fangs after HARKER is bitten and the death duel at the end with him and PETER CUSHING.. stars VERONICA CARLSON and CAROLINE MUNRO saying when the 6'-6" LEE was fully made up he was very frightening and they believed they were about to be attacked by DRACULA..
@801liveable I'll tell you what,When I think of Dracula I don't think of Max Schrek, Bela Lagosi,Gary Oldman,Ben Cross,or Jonathan Frid,I think of Chris Lee.
there are few films that are perfect maltese falcon original invasion of the body snatchers and this one not a scene can be cut from any of them this is truly one very rare movie after it they never would have to have made another Dracula picture, some were good, none were great but this one

I used to love Hammer Horror as a child. I might have to organise an old movie night :) Any idea who wrote the musical scores?

@EmmaDivaOfficial James Bernard wrote many of them. Malcolm WIlliamson wrote for "Brides of Dracula".

Does Dracula ever speak in these movies? Such a waste of Lee's voice.

@RealH0rr0rsh0w in most he does but during the second half of this movie and the sequel he doesn't at all.

great camera work especially at the start of the film. they did so much on a very small budget for film making.
making them back to back saved a lot.

Cushing should have said: "I got Death Star."
(Yeah, yeah. I know. Cushing didn't get Death Star until some years later.)
