Film Description
Seven years after their original Dracula, Hammer finally persuaded Christopher Lee to don the cape once more for Dracula: Prince of Darkness. The result was one of their greatest films, and arguably the closest to Stoker's subject - Dracula's threat to a society in which sexuality is totally repressed.

A welcome initiative from Studio Canal is a joint restoration project with Hammer Films to restore and release on DVD (and as Blu-ray premiers) several key horror titles from the company's illustrious past. The first entry is a double-play Dracula Price of Darkness, with the definitive Count, Christopher Lee (albeit dialogue-less), ably supported by Barbara Shelley. The fully restored film is accompanied by an impressive extras package (produced in association with Hammer expert and author Marcus Hearn). Four English tourists, stranded in the isolated village of Karlsbad, find themselves at an abandoned castle where a grim fate awaits. Splendid fare, looking more impressive than it ever has in any previous incarnation. < less

Christopher Lees return the dark cloaked role after a seven year absence created a sizable hit that breathed new death into the Hammer Dracula cycle. With fewer lines than a cameo player, Lee still exudes the necessary menace, and the presence of Andrew Keir raises Dracula: Prince of Darkness to the status of a minor Hammer classic. < less
