| User ReviewKevin RWhat a frosty chick A reform school for girls has recently been plagued by a series of slayings. Unfortunately, it is Halloween season and teenage girls have their needs. As the Halloween parties begin, the slayings continue. Can the girls overcome the killer(s)? "You could have killed us all." "I tried to." Herbert Strock, director of Don't Cry Wolf, Witches' Brew, How to Make a Monster, Teenage Frankenstein, and Gog, delivers Blood of Dracula. The storyline for this picture is interesting and well delivered. Strock focused on the settings and characters more than the actual story but the conclusion of the film is well done. The acting was solid and the settings and soundtracks were well selected. "I'm on a scavenger hunt." "What do you have to bring back, a dead body?" We DVR's this film last Halloween season and just recently watched this picture. While I enjoyed many aspects of this film, it seemed to be a loose horror picture at best. The horror elements of the film did not occur until the final couple scenes. Overall, this is worth watching but should have been a little longer and delivered a more complete picture. "We'll make some puppy love." Grade: C+ |
| User ReviewGreg VBLOOD OF DRACULA (1957). This film would have had it all, if it had been made in 1997 or later... a girls' school (though they appear to be 20-somethings in age), one guy who the girls "share" as their boyfriend (it doesn't say if this is set in Utah or not), an older female chemistry teacher who has lines like "what happens in my laboratory should never be mentioned" (heh heh heh), and predatory male students from nearby (who appear to be 30-somethings, or older). There is no Dracula and very little blood, but this does turn into a musical (just for one song, in the middle) about "puppy love" (which may or may not be a reference to doggie...). The vampire is one of the students who quickly changes back and forth from voluptuous nubile to 1980s-haired goth hag with an extreme overbite. |
| User ReviewPaul DWeak attempt at bringing the vampire legend into the modern world. The very educational and scientific approach to the killings does not help proceedings. |
| User ReviewDavid DPoor story, poor plot, and a very silly looking vampire. Just barely entertainment. |
| User ReviewRachel HI had hoped that it would be an actual vampire film, but I was severely dissapointed. The only thing vampiric about this one is the girl's teeth upon transforming and the hypnotism bit from the science instructor. Really dreadful all-in-all. Good laugh, though! |
| User ReviewKylie UThis is the wrong cover for this film as it doesn't star Christopher Lee. A tenuous connection with Dracula - a teacher abuses her position (no surprise there) by turning a pupil into a vampire using hypnosis and a strange amulet from Transylvania, all to prove a theory about human power being more potent than atomic! Advertising makes the vampire much better looking than the Eddy Munster version that appears in the film. The DVD includes some interesting trailers, an interview with Samuel Arkoff, who produced a lot of films aimed at the teenage market, and a great collectors postcard series of artwork from other Arkoff films. Strapline is "will give you nightmares forever"... that is so not true, real life gives me more than this film ever will... in fact I've forgotten it already! |
| User ReviewDavid SAn all-girl school becomes the center of evil when a misguided chemistry teacher uses an old amulet to turn a student into a vampire. The transformation scenes bring to mind more Wolf Man than Dracula. In fact, except for a couple of obscure references, there is no Dracula at all. Overall, very sophomoric and silly. |
| User ReviewAndreas OTalk about tacking a title on to improve viewer rates. No Dracula, no blood of Dracula and hardly anything worth calling a vampire. A pretty stupid plot, some really bad performances and a musical number that is completely out of place. Bad, but not entirely unentertaining. |
| User ReviewHeath SYou would figure w/ the title Blood of Dracula that Dracula would actually be in this movie but he isn't. A boarding school girl is hypnotized & she turns into a vampire & the police refer to vampires as Dracula but the Prince of Darkness is no where to be found..what a fucking rip off & there's no blood either |
