Rating: 6 out of 10, this is the third in the series and first without Cushing and it suffers a little bit for that. Its easy to see the difference from the earlier one as there is a much greater emphasis on sex with extremely low cut blouses on the female actresses. It's interesting to watch directly after the first because you can see the changes in society between the 1950s and 1960s reflected in the movie. Dracula is resurrected only to find his castle sealed with a cross. He sets out to seek revenge from the monsignor who sealed the castle. The main story is a young couple associated with the target and Dracula's attack on her. This movie has a lot less suspense and Dracula seems a little less menacing than in earlier films. I'm missing the one that came between the first and this the third and I'm going to have to find that the complete the collection. I again enjoyed this although it is definitely lost some of its punch.
