Diabolique Magazine closes with this:
Dracula: Prince of Darkness occupies a special place in Hammer’s history as the sequel that resurrected the Dracula franchise proper, after languishing for eight years. Stylistically it represents the kind of stately and patient storytelling that was Hammer’s hallmark, and which is almost nonexistent in today’s horror cinema. ...if you want to settle in for the evening with a good Gothic horror yarn, Dracula: Prince of Darkness suits well.DVD Talk calls it "an effective haunted house thriller" TCM has an overview. Moria and 1000 Misspent Hours each has a positive review. Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 81%.

ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of vampire movies out there.
DeleteI may have seen these growing up watching Elvira creepy movies late at night on Saturday nights.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have Elvira, as I don't think she's been born yet ;) but we had Sivad, the Monster of Ceremonies, who introduced horror movies late at night. Spooky!
