7/10
Typical Dracula film from Hammer Studios
30 December 2006
Warning: Spoilers
"Scars of Dracula" has some interesting moments. One scene is taken directly from Bram Stoker's novel-Dracula crawling downward on the castle wall in lizard fashion. Also,Dracula kills one of his own with a knife,repeatedly stabbing his victim. Overall, the set designs and costumes are up to the high standards as all Hammer Studio horror films. The acting is good, the pace of the movie moves along well and there are suspenseful moments throughout. Christopher Lee again plays a menacing Dracula. He has an imposing presence. Another standout to me was Michael Ripper as the inn-keeper. He played in several of Hammer Studio's horror films as well. I enjoyed the ending of the film. This was a unique way for Dracula to meet his fate. A good film in Hammer's Dracula series.
