Details: Amazon.de After Christopher Lee became one of the most convincing film Draculas in the 1958 British Hammer Studios classic Dracula (in which he competed against the unforgettable Peter Cushing in the role of Dr. Van Helsing), the mime stubbornly refused to act for many years before once again slipping into the role of the most nefarious vampire in film history. It wasn't until 1965, in the belated sequel, Blood for Dracula, again directed by Hammer veteran Terence Fisher, that Christopher Lee returned to the stage. Although the script lacks some of the effectiveness and intelligence of its predecessor, Blood for Dracula has become a classic for horror fans in its own way. This is due to its blend of eerie atmosphere (a Terence Fisher specialty) and graphic brutality, portrayed with exceptional blood for the time. The story begins with a scene typical of Hammer horror. A loyal servant of Dracula uses the blood of an innocent victim, which seeps into the grave onto the Count's decaying remains, to bring his master back to life. And the film also provides the necessary ingredients in the sequel without hesitation. For example, when a group of tourists arrives at the Count's remote castle just in time to quench his insatiable thirst for blood. True horror fans will be delighted to see a reunion with Hammer Ensemble star Barbara Shelley, whose performance in Blood for Dracula is considered by many to be one of her best performances ever. So, sharpen your teeth once again and enjoy Lee in his most memorable role, the one that made him immortal. --Jeff Shannon Product description During their vacation through the Carpathian Mountains, two married couples accidentally stumble upon the ruins of Dracula's castle. Shortly thereafter, one of the men is murdered by Dracula's servant, who still lives in the castle, and hanged over the coffin containing Dracula's ashes so that his blood can resurrect the count. And the ritual is indeed successful: Dracula awakens from the dead and immediately chooses the murdered man's wife as his victim. Now equipped with a partner, the two begin to leave a bloody trail in the nearby village... For the first time, the darkest and most sinister part of the Dracula saga, which continues the story of the world-famous count, is available on DVD - in its completely unabridged version.
