From Hammer Films comes a new interpretation of Bram Stoker’s classic in The Horror of Dracula. When vampire hunter Jonathon Harker goes missing after going undercover in Count Dracula’s castle, his friend Abraham Van Helsing comes looking for him and soon discovers that Harker fell victim to Dracula and that Dracula has now set his sights on Harker’s fiancée Lucy. The plot significantly deviates from the original novel, but still contains the essence of it and tells a tight story that comes in under 90 min. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Michael Gough lead the cast and deliver strong performances. And, in true Hammer tradition, the film steps up the level of violence and sexuality from what was the standard of the time. Entertaining and full of thrills, The Horror of Dracula is one of Hammer Films better efforts and a classic in its own right.
