Dracula (1959)
July 26th 2011 20:12
Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Michael Gough, Melissa Stribling. Dir: Terence Fisher.
When Jonathan Harker dies trying to kill Dracula, Van Helsing fears Harker’s beloved will be next. Hammer’s adaptation does away with gothic shadows, and swaps them for watercolour shades, emphasis on red. With a strong pacey storyline, it’s not gothic or spooky, but does make for an entertaining raunchy romp.
