The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973)
Dir- Alan Gibson
A British secret agent witnesses a satanic ritual that will involve four prominent members of society with a sinister plan. Occult expert Professor Van Helsing suspects that the mastermind of this plot maybe his nemesis Count Dracula. The final Hammer Studio Dracula movie pairing Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing was a follow-up to Dracula AD 1972. This installment was a disappointment for the studio that had capitalized on Dracula during the 1960s; this movie has more in common with an Ian Flemming spy thriller than the gothic horror spawned by Bram Stoker. The Satanic Rites of Dracula has few scares, fewer action scenes, and pretty much one of the silliest endings for a vampire movie. The best way to enjoy this entry is to seek out the Elvira Mistress of the Dark version.
