"Graf Dracula in Oberbayern" or "Dracula Blows His Cool" is a West German / Italian co-production from 1979, so this one is already over 35 years old. I must say I am neither familiar with director Carl Schenkel or writer "Grünbach", but I have seen other works by Erich Tomek and everybody else who has will know what to expect here. Tomek is known for writing comedy films with many sexual references, naked women and this is exactly what this film here is. Of course, there is a major impact in terms of the vampire film genre as the title already tells us as well. But they never even tried to be scary actually. But they tried to be funny and like it is the case with so many other German comedy films from the 1970s, they did not succeed. This is one of these uncountable trashy comedy films from 1970's West Germany. And that's why the only approach to give this film is the one of a guilty pleasure as luckily it never takes itself seriously, which also shows at the very end with how the makers spoof the idea of a perfect happy ending. I cannot say I am familiar with the cast here at all and the only one I know is Ralf Wolter and Winnetou fans will be surprised to see him in a completely different film and role. I see this 90-minute film has many foreign actors who were dubbed by German voice actors, such as Elmar Wepper. As a whole, this was not a good watch and I don#t recommend these 1.5 hours. Thumbs down and only worth seeing for the biggest vampire film fans who have seen everything else.
