Peter Sasdy took a turn directing this fifth "Dracula" film in the Hammer series that sees Christopher Lee once again playing Count Dracula, who is revived by an evil disciple(played by Ralph Bates) who had lured three bored(and hypocritical) "proper" English Gentlemen, who bring disaster on themselves and their families as Dracula targets them for destruction by killing his servant, though a climatic confrontation in a church may bring him his final destruction... Clever(if contrived) opening ties in with the ending of the previous film before moving forward a few years. Christopher Lee is fine in a limited capacity, and though it is handsome looking, it is also too far-fetched to succeed, though does have a memorable finale. Series really should have ended here though(in a way, it did!)
