If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires is one of the kind movie when it combine two most well know studio in the world:Hammer and Shaw Bros so the result i exactly what i expected.The awesome score of Hammer and the kick ass action scene of Shaw Bros mix perfectly with each other.For the first time i can witness two legendary actor Peter and David Chiang Cushing working together.That being said the movie still fill with many noticeable flaws and the Shaw Bros elements is stronger than Hammer but if you can look pass that this movie is a great piece of entertainment

The story is OK, but not great. The acting was OK, Peter Cushing is always Peter Cushing. The color gels were OK, maybe a bit overdone. I just viewed Suspiria, which is a way overrated piece of crap, which uses color gels like it's going out of style, and maybe it is the movie that killed the color gels.This movie was fun, and funny in spots, the kung fu fights were OK. The walking dead and the vampires and the makeup were ridiculous.This was actually better than some of the other Dracula movies by Hammer. I was very disappointed with Lee's performance. Presence and atmosphere is not enough. We need a good script and good acting.

This is the ninth and final Hammer "Dracula" film and the only one to feature an actor other than Christopher Lee in the role of Dracula. It's a decent film but not a great one. I've never been a fan of martial arts films so I found those (endless) scenes rather boring but at least they tried something different, which is why I enjoyed it more than "Scars of Dracula". I thought that that film was just a rehash of the best bits from the first five films. Even though Dracula had relatively little screen time in the previous films (bar "The Brides of Dracula" in which he doesn't appear at all), his presence was felt throughout and, consequently, anticipation and tension are built. That's not the case in this film, the only one in which he isn't the title character. His inclusion seems more like a late addition to the storyline. His final Hammer death is very underwhelming and rushed. Peter Cushing is as excellent as ever but it's just not the same without Christopher Lee. The series deserved to go out with a stronger film.

Excellent, if occasionally awkward, mixing of the Hammer Horror films with the Shaw Brother martial arts films. The plot has Dracula going to China and taking over the body of a Chinese warlord. He then sets up a zombie army to do his bidding. Professor Van Helsing is brought in to help fight his old enemy. He joins forces with a family of martial artists and thats when the fun begins.I know it sounds silly, and quite frankly it is. At the same time the film is also a real fine adventure film (its not really scary). The performances are good and the action almost nonstop. Its the mixing of two genres that shouldn't work together but somehow they do.The film was originally cut up and rearranged for American release. If you've only see that shortened 75 minute version you really haven't seen the film since that removes some dialog sequences and repeats some action and horror bits to bring the whole affair up to a reasonable running time. The shorter American version is okay, but its nowhere near as good as the full original version (though I know at least one person who prefers it.) One of the better Hammer horror films. this is must see for anyone who likes horror and martial arts films
