(Vaults Of Hammer Horror) Taste the Blood of Dracula(1970)

Gods, I love Hammer Horror House movies! They don’t have gore scenes so much or violence, but their atmosphere is what most of today’s horror scene lacks! This is one of the Dracula movie series featuring legendary Christopher Lee as more legendary vampire. The story goes like this: Three men in one 18th century town are looking for thrill until they get to know Courtley, former lord being disowned because he practiced Satanism. He entices them to join him in black mass, during which those three kill him in an act of violence. Little do they know that he was Dracula’s servant and Dracula comes alive to have his vengeance. Now, this is not one of the best movies in the series, but it has its moments, Lee is charismatic as ever although he hardly speaks in this movie. But his face, his eyes and expressions are just fantastic! Of course, Hammer’s movies can’t pass without beautiful women in it, so we have them here also with just a little hint of nudity through a see through dress in some scenes. If I have to recommend where to start with this series, or the best Hammer Horror movies, it would not be this one, but it is still a decent movie compared to what they make nowadays which is mostly sucky to me.
