Rating:  - CHRIS LEE AS A JAMES BOND VILLIAN
The Satanic Rites of Dracula
To tell you the truth, the only item I find interesting in "The Satanic Rites of Dracula", is the opening sequence, in which we hear some delightfully eerie music and the shodow of Chris Lee standing with his talons spread out wide and his cloak billowing in the wind. As the titles finish, the camera cuts in for a very tight shot and we see a naked girl lying on a dissecting table, with a Chinese lady standing over her with a Cockrel(held up-side down) ready for ...

Rating:  - 70's Drac Attack
I just caught this movie on the late late show at 3am. Its a Hammer production so I had high hopes. Then I saw the names of legendary Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing (the two stars in this review are for them only.) The movie went downhill after the opening credits. There is the usual Satanic ritual going on which shows how popular the Devil was in the 70's. But what really didn't work for me was the modern setting. Seeing Van Helsing walking around in London without all the old style gothic settings ... Read More
Rating:  - Dracula...Shaken not Stirred.
Almost everyone comments on how this Dracula movie is a bit like a Bond Film. It is in a way, and I have to say I like it. It adds another level of fun and excitement. And we get to see "Mod" Britain. And although some people say Dracula lives through the ages because he is undead, I think the real reason is that he, or rather his collaborators reinvent him as needed. This is a Drac for the 70's. The traditionalists will always have "Horror" and "Brides" and other great movies and modernizing the Count ... Read More
Rating: - Christopher Lee throws in the cape
The Satanic Rites of Dracula (belatedly released in a cut version as Count Dracula and His Vampire Bride in the US) was the swansong of the Hammer-Lee Dracs, and while not a classic it is a much more interesting attempt to do something new with the material in a modern-day setting than it's predecessor, Dracula AD 1972. Here Dracula is a reclusive Howard Hughes-like tycoon weary of immortality but determined to take the world with him when he goes by unleashing a new and improved Black Death, developed with ...

Rating:  - "What's this then...............?"
........asks an amused British police inspector when shown a slide of a barren doorway where there should have been a figure of a man, but that of course is not possible when that man is the spectral presence Count Dracula. The slides are of 4 prominent men who have been to Pelham House wherein curious lurkings have been exposed. A dossier is promptly ordered and secretary Jane is set forth to meet her fate.
I did not think i was going to like "Satanic Rites..." as much as I've come to. I thoroughly enjoyed ... Read More
