Christoper Lee has a vampire is awesome. This movie was made in 1966 and for that time of year they was not a lot of Bad movies and let's not forget about the good movies at that time, but this movie is kinda in the middle of all of that.

This sequel runs a quart low

I loathed this movie. In the eight years since Christopher Lee starred in the near-perfect "Horror of Dracula", Hammer Films evidently experienced a shift in the way they made their movies. Instead of lush sets and crisp cinematography, "Dracula, Prince of Darkness" has murky exteriors and muddy photography. (Not to mention a tedious story with no characterization.)
Perhaps the worst element is Dracula himself. Lee speaks no words and, with melodramatic music playing throughout, the "action" scenes look like something out of vaudeville! Reactions to Lee are also forced and unrealistic. It's hard to believe the same man (Terence Fisher) directed this one. He obviously had more consistent success with the Frankenstein series.
This was only the first in a long line of sequels, …
