Dracula's Daughter 1936

It's old. It's slow. But overall, it's pretty entertaining.

This is a sequel to the original "Dracula" that starred Bela Lugosi. Dracula's daughter, Contessa Zoleska (played by Gloria Holden), comes to London to try and rid herself of her Father's vampiric curse. This sequel is quite different from the original, with Contessa seeming somewhat sympathetic at times.

The performances of Holden and Otto Kruger are the clinchers here. Kruger is solid as the psychologist and Holden is at once creepy and riveting. She is also clearly a threat, which adds even more to the complexity of the character.
