I Watch Films: Dracula Prince Of Darkness

Dracula: Prince of Darkness

Dracula is dead (the famous closing scene from the previous film with two candlesticks making a cross appears here – this is from before home video etc. so they didn’t expect audiences to remember what happened previously). Two English couples are travelling in the Carpathian mountains where they meet a priest who suggests they don’t go to Carlbad. They go there but are abandoned by their coachman at the crossroads, are picked up by a mysterious carriage and spend the night in Castle Dracula.

Things don’t go well.

One couple manage to escape and the rest of the film revolves around the attempt to defeat Dracula and/or loose his hold over the wife.

Watch This: An old-fashioned horror film with plenty of blood and a fair stab at an interesting conclusion
Don’t Watch This: If you don’t want an iteration of people going to a castle and bad things happen
