A young libertine visits a remote castle and discovers to his horror that the infamous Count Dracula has been resurrected. Terrified villagers set fire to the castle, but a swarm of vengeful bats kills their women and children. Christopher Lee returns to his most famous role for the fifth time, and director Ward Baker creates the unprecedented shot of the Count scaling his castle walls. (StudioCanal UK)

This is a film that quite effectively portrays people's fear and contrasts it with relatively entertaining scenes. This is something the film deserves credit for - it managed to combine entertainment with horror. Because even from a horror perspective, there are quite good scenes here, although focused more on gore than on actual terror. With this film, however, the creators didn't miss the mark as much, and it's still very watchable.
