Synopsis
1973's Count Dracula and His Vampire Brides (a Public Domain version of Satanic Rites of Dracula ) seems to have the ingredients to be an actual good horror film: It's a Hammer Studios release, it's from their long-running and successful Dracula series, it stars both the great Christopher Lee and the equally great Peter Cushing, etc. The only problem is, this film came right at the end of the Hammer Dracula series, when the producers were running short of ideas, and Christopher Lee was running short on patience. The result is a "meh" modern-day Dracula tale with too much emphasis on Satanism, spy action, endless flashbacks, "hip" 70s fashions... everything, really, except DRACULA. By the time Christopher Lee shows up, the audience is half-asleep, and it's really too late to turn things around. As vampire films go, this one bites.
