5.0 out of 5 starsLooking great on Blu-ray
By A. Gammill VINE VOICE on September 20, 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
As someone who has, to date, purchased "Dracula, Prince of Darkness" in FOUR separate versions over the years (starting with the Anchor Bay VHS tape in the late 1990's), I think it goes without saying that I'm a fan. And while I don't think it's necessarily the best of the studio's Dracula films, I can tell you that it has never looked better.

As you will learn in the all-new 30-minute documentary on the disc, this is a new restoration of the film. I watched it on a mid-range 3D Blu-ray player and high-end 70" Smart TV. And while the image still doesn't quite compare with a new film shot in high definition, the picture is incredibly detailed for a film of this vintage. One can really appreciate the level of detail, and the use of color, in the castle scenes. The film's highlight--the Count's rather gory resurrection scene--really had me on the edge of my seat. James Bernard's simple but highly effective score adds much to the scene as well.

The aforementioned documentary features interviews with stars Barbara Shelley and Francis Matthews. Both have fond memories of the film and its director, the great Terence Fisher. Carryover features from previous releases include a cast commentary, and an interesting, if somewhat amateurish, episode of the "World of Hammer" series focusing on Christopher Lee. Disappointingly, the "restored trailer" is NOT the same as previously available, but a short combo promo for this film plus "The Plague of the Zombies," that actually doesn't show any footage from either film!

Those who have the old Anchor Bay DVD will want to hang onto it for the extra features NOT repeated here, including a few minutes of on-set "home movies," and a different World of Hammer episode titled "Dracula and the Undead.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGood restoration
By James Miller on September 17, 2013
Format: Blu-ray
I watched the Blu-ray last night. I compared it to the Anchor Bay dvd. Greens much improved and looked very good. Blues, reds and purples look nice, also. Flesh tones seem a bit washed out but, hey, it's a vampire movie. Some of the interior shots look very warm, almost like there was a light amber cast over the scenes but not too distractive. Considering this was shot in HammerScope, using a half frame of film instead of the whole frame (were they really that cheap?) the restoration looks very, very good. Losing half the resolution helps explain why the film never really looked liked Hammer's best. Somewhere along the way that film picked up a 2.0 dolby (RIP) stereo track. Sound emitted from all speakers but I could not detect any real separation. The 5.1 tracks on Anchor Bay's Quatermass and the Pit and The Devil Rides Out sound better but it is by no means bad. There is one shot where Diana enters the castle and is approached by the now vampire Helen. The reds and blues are beautiful. Unless big bucks are spent on further work, this is the best the film will look for a while. Overall, I was very, very happy with this disc. Lots of extras, too. Hammer fans will be pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautifully-restored on Blu-Ray
By Z Hayes HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWER on October 4, 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Hammer Films' "Dracula: Prince of Darkness" is one of my favorites of all the Dracula films despite the absence of my favorite horror actor, Peter Cushing. This installment in the Dracula franchise, directed by Terence Fisher, marks the return of Christopher Lee in the main role of Count Dracula, after an absence of eight years. I read that he took on this role rather reluctantly as a favor to his friend Sir James Carreras who was also the studio's head at the time.

Ironically, Dracula himself doesn't make an appearance until almost halfway through the film. The story centers on four English tourists played by Barbara Shelley as the ill-fated Helen Kent, Francis Matthews as Charles Kent, Suzan Farmer as Diana Kent, and Charles Tingwell as Adam Kent. The four are travelling through the Carpathians when they decide to visit a scenic place called Carlsbad, even though they have been warned off by Father Sandor (a convincing performance by Andrew Keir). The rest is rather predictable, but the excellent casting coupled with a high element of suspense and Gothic atmosphere make this a compelling movie well-deserving of its status as an iconic horror film.

This Blu-Ray edition from Millennium Entertainment (originally a Studio Canal restoration that was released earlier in the UK) looks amazing. The colors are vibrant and lend this production a high aesthetic value. The LPCM Dolby Stereo track allows for clear sound which is especially apparent in the dialog and the score. The difference between this Blu-Ray edition and my older Anchor Bay release DVD is quite stark and I'm glad I upgraded to the Blu-Ray.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA Note about the DVD
By Ham Tyler on May 21, 2005
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a very good film from Hammer. My issue is with the print they used for the anchor bay DVD release. The color is off. When they have shown this film on Turner Classic Movies, they show a different print. The color is deeper and richer. If you check the end of the film, the print used on cable was originally distributed by Warner-Pathe. The print on the DVD was originally a 20th Century Fox Distribution.
Anchor Bay(or SOMEONE) should release the Warner-Pathe version on DVD. It is a big improvement visually.
