Not that horrific but...

This is a decent Hammer film which will maintain your interest for its relatively short length. The fact that it really has nothing to do with Dracula doesn't matter. Its reasonably well written and acted, although occasionally there were a few wooden moments.
Whats most interesting is the levels of violence and sex in the film. Originally this would have been an X certificate for its nudity (several topless women). However in terms of violence there is virtually none, apart from one scene where we see the result of violence (a man who has been hanged). By todays standards its very tame indeed.
However, thats not a bad thing, the story is sufficiently interesting that there doesn't need to be heads rolling all the time. Its an enjoyable way to pass 90 minutes and whilst it doesn't merit 4 stars I'd have given it 3.5 if that was possible.
