Perhaps the constant hunt for hemoglobin is slowing our villain down, for this time there are strong indications that the once gory plot is showing definite signs of anemia.

In this British gothic horror film based on Bram Stoker’s infamous 1897 novel, the titular vampire hunts and is hunted by a group of civilians-slash-vampire hunters who are determined to end the parasite’s reign of terror — no matter the cost. The first in the series of Hammer Horror films.

What are critics saying?
Peter Cushing carries most of the ho-hum script as Dr. Van Helsing, though the well-lit color photography, central to the Hammer formula, can't compare with the shadowy magnificence of Nosferatu (1922) or Dracula (1931).
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
A colorful version of Bram Stoker's deathless tale of the bloodsucking count has Christopher Lee as a suave Dracula and Peter Cushing as his nemesis Von Helsing. [02 Oct 1998, p.J]
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
It's often entertainingly creepy in a twilit world of its own.
