Dracula A.D. 1972

Dracula A.D. 1972

When this movie first hit the cinemas, it was slated and put down by critics, it was seen as a vehicle for Hammer films to try and become hip with the younger generation, which in fact it was, sadly at the time it failed miserably and was to be honest a laugh a minute, with all its so called trendy and groovy talk from the younger members of the cast, if one had lived during the 1970s one would know this. But it has in recent years become something of a cult film, and on viewing it a couple of times more recently I too have warmed to it, OK its certainly no classic hammer horror but it contains some interesting and suitably horrific moments. The score by Mike Vickers does its job and supports and enhances where it needs to, the former Manfred Mann group member provided the film with a funky sounding pop orientated score
