Three hypocrites are spoiled their evening of debauchery in a bordello by Lord Courtley.The three men see a kindred spirit in the young man.He offers them the supreme thrill.To sell their souls (in a sense) to Dracula.All they have to do is taste the blood of Dracula.
Needless to say it goes horribly wrong and the three men kill Courtley.When they leave Dracula assumes human form and swears revenge against them for killing his disciple.Dracula uses the men's children as instruments of revenge.
There is a lot wrong with this film. First the only way to bring Dracula back was via a sacrifice.So why the revenge?Ralph Bates chews the scenery as Courtly.Chris Lee is given very little to say or do as Dracula.We feel sympathetic for no one in this film.
Originally this was slated to be a Dracula film without Dracula.Unwisely Lee decided to come back to play Dracula again and was little more than an afterthought.By this time the series was running out of gas (although it would get much much worse)and everyone was going through the motions.
I really wish there would have been more screen time for Dracula in this film.As it is it is a real snoozer.
