diogo13 T @Tua_mera Aug 22, 2026 Although it doesn't quite match the impact of the classic starring Bela Lugosi, this sequel stands out for its psychological and tragic take on vampirism. (I forgot to rate it) See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc Feb 7, 2026 Surprisingly sophisticated sequel that explores the curse of being a vampire along with some nice subtext. Gloria Holden is superb in the title role as someone suffering from being a vampire, even going so far as to burn her father's body to escape it. Behind the camera, director Lambert Hillyer crafts a solid film with some interesting subtext (lesbianism is more than hinted at). While a bit slow, probably the best of the straight Dracula sequels. See more Michael C @Michael71 Jan 21, 2025 "Dracula's Daughter" is a good movie in the Universal Monsters franchise. It is no classic, but it is a good movie nonetheless. One of the things that made me like the movie was that it deviated somewhat from formulaic plot devices. I liked that the title character tried to be human again and tried to rid herself of the vampire curse. Though she eventually accepts the curse, that small plot point was a smart move by the writers of "Dracula's Daughter". I also liked seeing some of the sets used in the original 1931 classic "Dracula" starring the late Bela Lugosi in the role that defined his career for better or worse. Returning to the title character, the late Gloria Holden does a very good job in the role of Countess Marya Zaleska. The supporting cast is quite good also. The late Edward Van Sloan reprises the role of Professor Van Helsing here and he has not missed a beat. The late Otto Kruger is terrific as Dr. Jeffrey Garth. The numerous movies in the Universal Monsters film franchise, while not all classics, are certainly not boring and rather entertaining. "Dracula's Daughter" is no exception. I have seen better, I have seen worse, but "Dracula's Daughter" in my mind is worth seeing. See more Ted B @Movieaddicted Jan 13, 2025 3.0 stars. This is a lesser-known classic 1930s Universal Studios monster flick, with some heavy hitters in the cast, including Otto Kruger and Gloria Holden. In a lesser role, prior to her journalistic career, Hedda Hopper made an appearance. The film had a more serious plot line than the standard from that series of flicks, which picks up after Dracula's death. His vampire daughter seeks help from a scientist and psychiatrist to break the spell of the vampire curse.

But it was nice seeing the old castle Dracula sets. See more Henry C @RT13349240 Dec 7, 2024 This movie doesn't deserve the hate it gets it is a new idea of a struggling vampire with her deadly instincts this is a good story about draculas daughter That most of these sequels dont do they are more frankenstien movies crossovers and comedies but dracula has son and daughter which is unique concepts that the relatives live on the horror See more Read all reviews
