I wanted to but couldn't!
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
As they say in my country - same crap in different package. There are some Dracula movies that present original stories and even if they have no other qualities they are at least entertaining. Unfortunately, most of Dracula movies are basically the same story with variations in details, and this one is one of that majority. There are no major flaws, but it just rehashes same old story in same old way and that makes it redundant. If you never saw original Dracula or any other old Dracula movie you may find this interesting, but if you saw at least few of its predecessors this movie will be complete waste of time.5/10
As in the tradition of the B western Dracula makes no appearance in this Hammer horror film The Brides Of Dracula. But there are brides aplenty for the Count Meinster and there's also Dr. Van Helsing making house calls as it were.Peter Cushing is the intrepid vampire hunter who knows well that Dracula is not the only undead creature out there. The Count Meinster has been terrorizing the population of his area of Germany for some time now and he's collected a bevy of beauties to do his bidding. The Dowager Countess Meinster is played by Martita Hunt and for her kid's own good she has him chained up. Never mind that though, a passing woman takes pity and frees him. That brings in Van Helsing.Cushing is always good and David Peel is the matinée idol vampire who was a trendsetter without knowing it. It would be another thirty years before Frank Langella, Tom Cruise and folks like that would start playing undead creatures let alone the whole Twilight Saga.You'll have a few frights before this one is over.
This is a sequel to The horror of Dracula. This movie is great. It is one of the scariest movies ever. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is very intense. Van H.e.l.s.i.n.g most fight a another vampire in his home country of Holland. This is a true horror classic. If you like scary movie then you need to see this movie. If you do not great scared of this movie then no movie will scary you. So it is old. It does not feel old. This is the movie that will make your flesh crawl. It will make you jump. See this movie. It is a great movie. I need more lines and I am running out of things to say.
This movie starts out really good... enter Van Helsing and it stays a good movie for awhile then somewhat goes down hill. The ending was OK - I liked the idea of the windmill - in fact that is very creepy! To me the movie hits a lull around 50 min to an hour into the film but does pick back up in the end.David Peel was pretty good as Baron Meinster but just not very convincing as a vampire IMO. Martita Hunt is ideal for the role of Baroness Meinster - she is quite good in this movie. Yvonne Monlaur was very pleasing to watch as Marianne. And Peter Cushing is, once again, smashing as Doctor Van Helsing.Just some random thoughts on the title of the film because the title is a bit disappointing - yes The Brides of Dracula does fit it to a degree because as they basically said in the beginning narration that Dracula is dead but his brood is still around but maybe a title like "Meinster Manor", "Castle Meinster" or even "The Baron" would have fit the film better. But I guess they needed "Dracula" in the title to help tie in Dr. Van Helsing's part. Hummm... why does a film that surrounds Dracula have to have his name in the title? Personally I would have liked to see this title reserved for Dracula's 3 brides.Anyway, I would have rated the film higher except for the fact there was a bit of a 30 minute lull.6.5/10
