After Hammer Studios' tremendous success with The Curse of Frankenstein, they struck a deal to adapt Universal's catalog of classics and set their sights first on Dracula. Christopher Lee removes the monstrous makeup from the earlier film and makes his entrance as an elegant, confident, altogether seductive Dracula, a frightening figure of flashing eyes and erotic allure. Peter Cushing, with his hawklike profile and piercing eyes, turns his rationalist intensity to Van Helsing: man of science as crusading vampire hunter. Director Terence Fisher and screenwriter Jimmy Sangster make a few changes to Bram Stoker's tale; gone are Renfield, Transylvania, howling wolves, and transformations into bats. The Count is an old-world aristocrat firmly ensconced in a castle in England and Van Helsing a crusading vampire hunter who plots his demise with an elaborate plan. This is the first film to really mine the erotic appeal of vampires: Dracula seduces Mina and Lucy like a devil tempting good to the dark side through sex--more suggestive than explicit, but daring for 1958. Lee is electric as the ferocious Count, despite his limited screen time, and Cushing turns Van Helsing into a virtual swashbuckler of a hero, leaping and diving through the climax like an aging action hero. Cushing reprises his role in The Brides of Dracula, while Lee absented himself from the series until 1966's Dracula: Prince of Darkness. --Sean Axmaker

Great movie of its type, but there is a problem with the transfer. In many shots the tops of the actors' heads are cut off, and in some shots it seems their legs are cut off as well (less noticeable). IMDB says the original aspect ratio was 1.66:1, which is about 15:9. Amazon says the aspect ratio is 1.85:1, which is about 17:9. I saw this movie on a 16:9 monitor. Did they get a 4:3 print, then cut off the top and bottom to make it 16:9? I would have preferred to see the entire movie. Audio commentary ... Read More

One of the best Hammer Dracula Films in the series, and an interesting look at Dracula, played by Christopher Lee, more creepy than the Bela Lugosi Dracula and faster paced as well.

Although this film is over 50 yrs old,I still can see how much I enjoy it. I was 7 when I saw it the first time ,and with actors like Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee it was pretty scary.Lee made the best Dracula.

I first saw the Horror of Dracula in 1958 when it opened in New York at the old LUXOR Theater in the Bronx. The movie was very well received by many horror film fans including myself and the addition of wide screen color literally added to the scope of this Dracula remake by Hammer films. Note, this film is also available in DVD form in many collections.
The scenes which I found particularly frightening showed Chris Lee as the count in close quarters, fangs clearly visible, eyes red and blood ... Read More

One of the top ten Horror movies of all time is this 1958 classic that revolutionized the genre.
Changing the plot drastically from Stoker's novel and the early Lugosi version,the result is a lightning paced film that is pure,gothic excellence.
All the performances are very well constructed and delivered to add to the film considerably,but the leads create two of the most memorable ever seen in the genre.
Christopher Lee is a truly frightening Count Dracula,more animalistic and imposing ... Read More
