Vintage Hammer hokum,
By www.DavidLRattigan.com (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (DVD)
Dracula Has Risen from the Grave is an entertaining addition to Hammer's Dracula series. Terence Fisher, who directed the first three in the series, had to pull out at the last minute due to an accident, and it was left to lighting cameraman Freddie Francis to take the reins. The film reveals a shift in the underlying worldview: Fisher's triumphant vision of good conquering evil, God defeating Satan is supplanted by Francis's bleaker universe, where God is apparently no guarantee against the Devil, and whose central religious figure (Monsignor, played by Rupert Davies, no match for Andrew Keir or Peter Cushing) is blustering, naive and impotent in the face of evil.There are some great scenes, as one would expect from a distinguished cinematographer like Francis, although some of the most visually compelling moments (eg. Maria's bedroom scene with the Count, by far the most explicitly sexualized portrayal of vampirism seen up to that time) sit uneasily alongside the bizarrely artless, shakey, badly focused handheld shots. Still, it's vintage Hammer hokum, and certainly miles ahead of later additions to the Dracula series. I bought this for nostalgic reasons -- hadn't seen it since I was a kid -- and I wasn't disappointed. Picture quality on the recent DVD release is clear and sumptuous, apart from a brief snatch towards the end when the picture momentarily reverts to an older, grainier print. Hammer buffs should add this to their collection.

OK film is a little improvement over the first sequel,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (DVD)
A little better this time around, although having Professor Van Helsing would have made it a nicer film to watch. At least this time, the Count actually speaks. If you are a fan of these Hammer films, stick with this and the other period films. This is one to have for your collection if you are a die hard fan like myself. If not, at least rent this one at Halloween for a night of horror.

He's Back,
By Ned "java_ned" (Eldersburg, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (DVD)
Dracula, played by Christopher Lee, is accidentally resurrected from the dead by the dripping blood of a priest. Finding a cross on the front door of his castle, he chooses the niece of the monsignor as his next victim, because the Monsignor performs the exorcism on his castle.It hard to watch a Dracula movie within out Peter Cushing as Van Helsing The next film in the series is Taste the Blood of Dracula.
