The film "Dracula" (1958) (Aka "Horror of Dracula" in the USA) was a turning point in vampire's movies. The use of Technicolor and profusion of blood shed produced a shock to audiences when released At that time I was one of the teenagers that crowded the theater. What an experience! Since the starting titles with blood dripping over Dracula's name until the last scene we were enthralled with fear & horror! At the present times general public is used to much more gore and violence, but this film still make your hair stand straight! British director Terence Fisher is able to instill true Stoker's spirit to the film; it is a subtle combination of suspense and Grand Guignol. That "touch" was lost in successive new versions and resurrections the dreadful Count. But in this particular first release Christopher Dracula Lee & Peter Van Helsing Cushing are at their peak. The story in this particular adaptation of Stoker's book is as follows: Jonathan Harker is sent by Dr. Van Helsing to Dracula's Castle in order to destroy the hideous vampire. That fate is easier to plan than accomplish as the unfortunate Harker will learn. After defeating this attack the Count starts an all out revenge aimed to Harker's fiancée and her sister. To stop him there is only one person: Dr. van Helsing. The film chronicles this confrontation. Christopher Lee with his eyes full of tiny red veins and enormous fangs rends a paradigmatic characterization. Peter Cushing as Dr. van Helsing is at the same height. This is an unforgettable horror movie. It is highly recommended for fans of the genre.Vollständige Rezension lesen
