“TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA is unusual in that it keeps Dracula somewhat on the sidelines. He is more the force behind a kind of twisted moral retribution rather than just the aggressor in a struggle between good and evil.”
—Slant Magazine
This Hammer horror film reflects some of the generational strife of its era. A group of bad Victorian dads buy a vial of Dracula’s blood to use as an aphrodisiac or something, and Dracula himself is accidentally resuscitated to seduce the men’s daughters. Christopher Lee is the best on-screen Dracula ever, and it is proven again here. In 35mm.
