Christopher Lee made one of his final appearances on the big screen as the malevolent Count with a lust for blood, in The Satanic Rites of Dracula. In this dark and diabolical tale, Count Dracula fronts a satanic cult that uses a research establishment and real estate business as a cover for its dastardly deeds in 1970's London. The Count and his followers develop a deadly strain of the bubonic plague, plotting to release it into the unsuspecting city streets. With the entire human race in jeopardy, the dutiful Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) and Inspector Murray (Michael Coles) set out to stop the evil Count and his minions from carrying out their devilish plan.

I'll admit that I liked the film mainly because both stars are in pretty good form here and delivered what you'd expect from them. Lee the dark count, whom he could have embodied at any time, would have made him great as Dracula even in later years. Cushing, on the other hand, as Van Helsing, has the charisma and believability to take that final step and once again rid the world of the bloodthirsty count for a little while.
