Dull, humorless, and thankfully, the last of the Dracula films produced by Hammer.

A lot of weak action scenes and weaker lines, but still a vast improvement on Dracula A.D. 1972.

Set in the 1970s. Van Helsing and The Count are back in this direct sequel to Dracula 72AD, This time Hammer takes advantage of the relaxed censorship rules. So we get more extreme violence, more nudity. But few scares. And Hammer openly rips off James Bond by featuring a Spectre like organization. All this adds up to a watchable mess, capped by a clever but too abrubt finale.
