The first Hammer Dracula (fourth in the series) to place the character within the Victorian England of his creator. For those who want 'serious subtext' there is much enjoyment to be had watching Dracula influence the children of three corrupt and hypocritical Victorian gents into acts of murder and revenge. But for those who want standard Hammer stuff that's here too. Director Peter Sasdy stages some excellent 'shock' sequences which still pack a punch today. Hammer in it's prime.
