Veronica Carlson and Barry Andrews made the strongest couple to fall victim to Christopher Lee’s Dracula. All the supporting cast are excellent. It’s easy to get invested in their lives and wish them a happy ending after enduring Dracula’s horror.

Grave is the fourth entry in Hammer’s Dracula rotation but doesn’t possess a whiff of being a retread, given its innovative formal choices and series-best direction. [24 Jul 2018]

One of the last and best of the Hammer vampire flicks has Lee doing his umpteenth turn as Transylvania's thirstiest and most sexually active aristocrat. [05 Jul 1985, p.47C]

Campy horror at its very best, courtesy of Hammer Films, director Freddie Francis and the incomparable Christopher Lee in his third outing as the bloody Count. Sexy, baroque and completely inconsequential. [29 Oct 1998, p.F45]

The fourth of nine Dracula films by Hammer, with the violence and eroticism more up front this time around.

While the film has some full-blooded setpieces and creative visuals - plus one of the franchise's coolest posters - it's a thoroughly by-the-numbers effort. Lee is visibly disengaged with the sequel, the middle section drags on and most of the cast of characters aren't terribly interesting.

Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. Yes, again. And judging by this junky British film in color—asplatter with catchup or paint or whatever, to simulate the Count's favorite color—he can descend again.

A direct sequel to Dracula Prince of Darkness, Movie is watchable, Lee is the whole show, His menacing prescence, and some classic vampire scenes deliver the goods, I also liked the cool climax, and the attracive female cast, But mostly the plodding pace and dumb annoying characters lessen the impact.

I question if anyone has actually seen this film. It's a Dracula movie that features the bare minimum of Lee as Dracula. It was to the point where roughly halfway into the film, I wondered if I was even watching the same film. It wasn't until the final 30 minutes of the film that things started picking up but by then my interest was gone. Not worth checking out. There are far better Dracula films out there.
