SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

IsaacD54 This movie is so bad it doesn't deserve much of a review. The characters are so unbelievably stupid I could not bring myself to care if they died. Darwin told us that the weak must die in order for the stronger to prevail. If that is true, then these characters should have never been born. But, seeing as how they did appear, their deaths would have been a matter of "thinning the herd."

Claudio Carvalho One year after destroying Dracula (Christopher Lee), Monsignor (Rupert Davies) returns to his castle in the mountains with the local priest (Ewan Hooper) to exorcise his castle. However, the priest accidentally resurrects Dracula and becomes his slave. Meanwhile Monsignor returns home in Keinenberg on the day of the birthday of his niece Maria (Veronica Carlson), who lives with her mother Anna (Marion Mathie) in his house. Maria is in love with the atheist Paul (Barry Andrews), who works with the waitress Zena (Barbara Ewing) in the bar owned by his friend Max (Michael Ripper) where he also lives. Dracula decides to revenge on Monsignor and travels with the priest to Keinenberg. What will Dracula do next?"Dracula Has Risen from the Grave" is the third film by Hammer featuring Christopher Lee in the role of Dracula. The film is still interesting almost fifty years later for fans of Dracula, but there are better ones. Paul staking Dracula that does not die because Paul does not pray is totally weird. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Drácula, o Perfil do Diabo" ("Dracula, The Profile of the Devil")

Spikeopath Dracula Has Risen from the Grave is the fourth film in Hammer Films' Dracula series. It is directed by Freddie Francis and written by Anthony Hinds (under his alias John Elder). It stars Christopher Lee, Rupert Davies, Veronica Carlson, Barry Andrews and Barbara Ewing. Music is by James Bernard and cinematography by Arthur Grant.Very much a case of style over substance, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave is still very much a top line Hammer Dracula pic. Story sees the famous Count accidentally revived and embark upon a mission of revenge, which spells trouble for the inhabitants of the village that sits in the shadow of his castle. Enter a scenario where Dracula is very much on the periphery as he tracks Carlson's sultry babe for his nefarious ends. Lust, blood, breasts and religious zeal does follow.That's about it as story goes, but even though strands such as religious beliefs - or otherwise - are dangled but not pulled hard enough, the screenplay is not without interesting merit. A number of great scenes lift the pic out of the ordinary, from a terrific "body in a bell" opening, to the grandiose splendour of a crucifix blood splatter, the craft on show engages and thrills. The middle section slow moves as we are party to young lovers under duress via Drac, but Drac pops up from time to time to menace humans and horses alike.The super craft doesn't stop there, the costuming and sets are ornate and very appealing, with the various colour lens choices also superb. Standing out are the roof top sequences, we get high level views of an angular landscape, with jutted slates, odd chimney tops (one even looking like a magic mushroom), all of which is shrouded in mist. There's even green smoke coming out of some stacks, just what are the villagers burning on their fires?! While Bernard scores it with menacing relish, some of the title music having shades of Berlioz at his most unnerving.Competently acted and directed with a keen eye for detail, this is one of the better Hammer Dracula sequels. 7/10

Rainey Dawn This a beautifully filmed movie. The lighting is breathtaking... in particular when Dracula appears. Deeply Gothic in every way one can imagine. Simply breathtaking Gothic eye-candy.The story is very good. It picks up right where "Dracula: Prince of Darkness" leaves off. You really don't have to watch "Darkness" in order to know what is going on in "Dracula Has Risen" but it is better that you do in order to understand what is going on at the beginning of the film when Dracula is resurrected once again.This is one of the best films in the Hammer Horror Films "Dracula" series. It looses nothing from the first two movies... it only continues the story in a very dramatic way.Worth watching if you enjoy Dracula/Vampire films and Christopher Lee.9/10
