A Monsignor comes to
a small village to perform an exorcism on the castle of Count Dracula. What he doesn’t see and he doesn’t know
is that the Priest who came with him fell and spilled blood on the coffin of
Dracula. The Monsignor
leaves and Dracula has awakened.
He bites the Priest and he becomes the servant to Dracula. They go to a bar in town, they follow
the barmaid and Dracula bites her.
She is ordered to bring Maria the niece of the Monsignor to the basement
where the coffin of Dracula is being kept. This is revenge for the cross the Monsignor put on the doorway to the castle. Maria escapes but he later goes to her room at the Monsignor’s
home. She is bitten and Dracula
plans to make her his bride. The
only one who can save her is her boyfriend Paul because he loves her.
I
was expecting to be scared by this film but I wasn’t!! It is interesting but not
scary. There is a lot of blood,
thunder, lighting and biting but it all seems very calm. The eyes of Dracula with the blood
veins on the whites are a little freaky but it could be just from eyestrain!! 3* (This movie is OK)

There is a mistake with the window to the niece’s room. First it has glass, then Dracula breaks
it, then the window is unbroken but boarded up later?
