Dracula's Daughter begins with the arresting of Von Helsing for the murder of Count Dracula. He's convinced he has finally saved the world from a vampire but the officers refuse to believe that. They encourage him to get a lawyer but he asks for Jeffrey Garth, a psychiatrist. While Dracula's corpse is being guarded, a mysterious woman hypnotizes the guard and steals the body. She then burns it hoping that she'll be free from the vampire curse. Turns out she still has that bloodthirsty urges but she finds hope when she encounters Dr. Garth and hearing his psychology talk. First of all, yes for bisexual representation. This film has a really good cast. Gloria Holden is perfect as the title character. She's more sympathetic and I really love her eerie presence. The police officers brings good energy into the film and some playful interactions between Dr. Garth and his secretary make it more fun to watch. I also find it interesting that the film doesn't focus on her killing urge. The fact that she doesn't want to be a vampire anymore and desperately trying to live a normal life can be seen as she suffers from psychological disorder. Overall I’m really impressed with this film. It'd be even better if there's more vampire action.
