Scars of Dracula is one of the later sequels to Hammer's 1958 Dracula. It has the advantage of starring Christopher Lee but it's also missing Peter Cushing which is a shame.
The plot's very similar to the original novel but there is also several more memorable sequences with some lush cinematography, such as Dracula climbing down a wall and stabbing a woman to death. Also notable for giving Lee more dialogue than the other Dracula films, it was also nice to see Michael Ripper (a Hammer regular, and also frequent star of Robin Hood tv series) again as a landlord. Patrick Troughton plays a villainous servant to Dracula.
7/10: A good, and shockingly violent gothic Hammer horror
