Rating: 4 out of 10, the series had definitely lost its way in this sequel. Lee is still great as Dracula but the story is ludicrous in the extreme. All of Dracula's victims here seem to deserve their fate as Dracula uses their children to go after them. Once again its interesting the see the differences in the mores present here with full on nudity and strange cults, a comment on the end of the 1960s. Dracula is seeking revenge against the guys who double crossed the demon worshipper who resurrected him. In the end Drac is a lot less powerful as he dies without even being staked - kind of a lousy ending. Wile the acting is solid the story is so stupid as to defy description. Hammer had apparently lost their way and quantity over quality was the goal.
MVP: Lee as Dracula once again menacing
