      Alexandra Krystyna Lexi R A must see of Christopher Lee films Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Deke P Actually very good... for 1969. Lots of crucifixes. Saw it on the tv set, 10.14.23. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Title checks out, Dracula does indeed rise. Mouthful of a title aside, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave is a bit of a minor triumph for Hammer. Their biggest box office success, it mixes the talent of the old and the new feeling like the ultimate amalgamation of Hammer's filmmaking conventions. This one feels like an otherworldly painting, almost dreamlike, with its use of colour-tinted frames that sharply contrast with the dark shadows. With Freddie Francis stepping in for an out-of-commission Terrance Fisher, his adventurous direction helps this film succeed in its stylings. Complemented by the photography of Arthur Grant really heightening the seductive nature of the titular Count, once again played with refined elegance by Lee, whose eyes are frequently and unnervingly bloodshot whenever his sexual drive begins to rev into gear. He even manages to squeak out a line this time. Despite his absence for most of the film, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave makes great use of its cast and crew, milking every scene for maximum visceral impact with Dracula's death-by-crucifix standing as one of the most iconic gothic images ever recorded in cinematic vampire lore. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/23 Full Review dave s Thanks to some creative lighting, elaborate sets and effective cinematography, the atmosphere in Dracula Has Risen From The Grave is thick with dread and foreboding. Unfortunately, the story is wafer thin and the whole movie eventually becomes a bit of a bore, to the extent that early in the film I had sort of forgotten that it was a Dracula movie. It all has a bit of a ‘been there, done that' vibe to it - Dracula rises from the dead, bites some pretty girls on the neck, and is vanquished by a hero. Despite decent production values and some good performances, it's ultimately just a forgettable and unnecessary addition to the Hammer franchise. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The first vampire movie my mom took me to see. I've always liked it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review deano w Somewhat dramatic take on the count. Lee is not in it enough as it focuses on cleavage and blood. Some good acting and locales and a so so plot.

      Time Out Freddie Francis creates some admirable atmosphere and tension in the first half-hour, but ultimately reduces the film to an inconsequential splurge of arbitrary religious and sexual motifs. Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness There's just not enough of Lee's Dracula. Rated: B May 3, 2005 Full Review Eric Henderson Slant Magazine For starters, Lee's eyes are frequently and unnervingly bloodshot whenever his sexual drive begins to rev into gear. Rated: 3/4 May 4, 2004 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Some script deficiencies hamper the overall project. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 28, 2024 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk Dracula Has Risen From The Grave not only has a great title but it was also a fun film. Still has the B movie charm going for it to cover some of the suspect acting as well. Rated: 4/5 Oct 26, 2021 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Christopher Lee's death-by-crucifix ending stands as one of the most iconic gothic images ever recorded in cinematic vampire lore.
