Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Smoreni Zmaj By itself, this is one of better Hammer movies. From movie to movie improvement in every aspect is obvious, from screenplay, to scenography, effects, directing and acting. At the other hand, this is God knows how many in a row Dracula movie that recycles same old plot, and does not offer much novelty. Although this one has bit different approach and some new details, like symbolism of the doll on Maria's bed, essentially it's same crap in different package. And that really starts to bore...6/10

Claudio Carvalho One year after destroying Dracula (Christopher Lee), Monsignor (Rupert Davies) returns to his castle in the mountains with the local priest (Ewan Hooper) to exorcise his castle. However, the priest accidentally resurrects Dracula and becomes his slave. Meanwhile Monsignor returns home in Keinenberg on the day of the birthday of his niece Maria (Veronica Carlson), who lives with her mother Anna (Marion Mathie) in his house. Maria is in love with the atheist Paul (Barry Andrews), who works with the waitress Zena (Barbara Ewing) in the bar owned by his friend Max (Michael Ripper) where he also lives. Dracula decides to revenge on Monsignor and travels with the priest to Keinenberg. What will Dracula do next?"Dracula Has Risen from the Grave" is the third film by Hammer featuring Christopher Lee in the role of Dracula. The film is still interesting almost fifty years later for fans of Dracula, but there are better ones. Paul staking Dracula that does not die because Paul does not pray is totally weird. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Drácula, o Perfil do Diabo" ("Dracula, The Profile of the Devil")

Scott LeBrun Capably directed by renowned cinematographer & director Freddie Francis, "Dracula Has Risen from the Grave" is a good, not great, entry in this Hammer vampire series. It's been a year since Count Dracula was last vanquished, but his evil still has a powerful, lingering presence on the locals and the area. A travelling Monsignor (Rupert Davies) is brave enough to venture up to the Counts' castle and exorcise the place, while placing a big, heavy cross on the front door. However, the Count is resurrected, and when he sees that he can't use his own place for sanctuary, he plots revenge against the man of God, by pursuing the Monsignors' lovely young blonde niece Maria (Veronica Carlson).Horror elements don't come into play that often in this story. Still, Hammers' utilization of Sir Christopher Lee in his famous role works, because you don't see too much of Dracula. A little goes a long way here. He does have dialogue, but not a lot of it. His bloodshot eyes are cool, but we get perhaps a few too many giant closeups of them. The film is beautifully atmospheric in its best moments, especially early on. John Elders' screenplay manages one neat twist, in which Marias' likable suitor, Paul (Barry Andrews) is an atheist; Paul is faced with an untenable situation for him because at one point he's asked to say a prayer. The technical aspects to this sequel are top notch, as always, with a delightfully grandiose music score by the always reliable James Bernard. The sex appeal is played up to a degree, especially as it regards the waitress character Zena (Barbara Ewing).Sir Christopher makes for a brutal, bad ass blood sucker. But Davies is equally strong as his nemesis, and one will enjoy rooting for him. Ewan Hooper is properly pathetic as the weakling priest recruited by the Count as a henchman. Carlson and Andrews are both appealing. And it's nice to see Hammer mainstay Michael Ripper in one of his customary character parts.Good fun for fans of this series.Seven out of 10.

MisterWhiplash As the third in the series of the Christopher Lee Draculas from Hammer horror, I wasn't sure what to expect, and after Prince of Darkness (66) it was possible this one could've slipped farther into territory that was cheesy and unbelievable and all that. What's surprising is that director Freddie Francis and his collaborators and writer Hinds get more than you could bargain for. This especially after one sees how Dracula comes back, from an accident where a Monsognor and a fellow priest are up at Dracula's castle to fortify it with Christian barriers and the priest has a tumble and cuts himself... with the blood trickling down to Dracula, who has been frozen in ice (remember last time he fell to an icy would-be grave), and it reaches his mouth. ZANG, he's back again.What surprised me also was how the characters in this one has a bit more, well, character to them. I liked Barry Andrews and his character very much in this film, and there's actually some, if not development, at least time to see him and other characters in this village nearby the Count's a castle. One memorable moment is when Paul is over for dinner at Maria's place, and her father being a religious man asks Paul what his denomination is. He responds he's an atheist, which causes an uproar for a few minutes. That was certainly unexpected, and the scene where Paul gets super drunk and Zena (Barbara Ewing) tries to get 'cozy' with him, is funny and adds some depth to the proceedings. Not a lot, sure, but more than you might expect from a story that is summed up on the TV summary as: "Count bites women, falls on something sharp."What that 'sharp' thing is I dare not say, but suffice it to say Lee's Dracula gets a lot of time here - or more than I remember from Horror of Dracula - and even has some lines this time (not a lot, but enough, mostly commands). Francis' direction and the Hammer-studio sets are magnificent, you get absorbed into the horror every time Lee comes on because nothing is rushed for a moment - even when Dracula has to get away when another mortal enters (because, you know, he can't just keep doing what he's about to with his female victims), there's a grace to it. It's also interesting to see a little experimentation, as in one sequence where the sides of the frame have a kind of blood-red gauze that makes things even more eerie. You can feel the dread mounting even more with that there, and it stays on for a good couple of minutes before leaving the film.Dracula Has Risen from the Grave has a lot of personality to its characters, great camera-work, and another masterpiece turn from Lee in the role that made him a household name (for most households, preferably the ones with good taste). Most of all the sensual power of Dracula over his women is felt and seen palpably, with the character Maria especially who is seduced, tries to fight it, and is brought back again into the aura that is the Count of Transylvania (if that's where this is this time). Though not all perfect, and certain shots made me wonder where the budget went, there's a lot of fun and thrills to be had with this one, and it has more to offer than one might expect from the third film in a Dracula series; ironically Lee didn't care for the script much, though he did show up to work.
