Buyer beware. This Blu Ray is advertised as having a bonus DVD

BONUS DISC: Cuadecuc Vampir- Pere Portabella's Expressionistic Behind-The-Scenes Feature

I was sorely dissappointed to find no such bonus DVD disc had been sent with the blu ray, and as this was one of the reasons I purchased this item it really soured my enjoyment of the disc. In fact so disappointed was I that I did request to return the item, but from the UK its not easy to do so by following Amazons demands to arrange a carrier with the commercial invoice they request to use. So I've decided to keep it, and not be so hasty to order any disc touting bonuses until satisfied that they actually have them in future!

As to the actual blu ray, I am happy with the picture quality - although the framing is not widescreen which lessens the impact. Its a clean nice image and about the best I've seen it. I think that any fan of Christopher Lee would want to own this movie, he finally gets to say all the lines from the novel - even the immortal line "Children of the night - what music they make!" The extra's (apart from the missing DVD!) are informative and amusing.

As I said my only gripe is that the item was not sold as advertised - and this has left me wary of buying from amazon usa in future.

Nice clutch of extra's and informative audio commentary. As a fan of Chris Lee, this is the main selling point for me, and its great to hear Dracula actually speak of his heritage rather than just silently glide about his castle.

Just to be clear, this is a review of the movie, not the blu-ray or DVD. I bought this sight unseen on DVD many years ago because I imagined, "Christopher Lee, Klaus Kinski, authentic version of Dracula story, how could I go wrong?" But I overlooked the biggest factor in my purchase and that was Jess Franco. To be fair, I was not expecting a "masterpiece" but just something a little entertaining.

The movie starts out well enough, but is immediately plagued with mismatched lighting and "odd" zooming effects. When we get to Christopher Lee, it was very interesting to watch him portray this Count as a different character than in the Hammer films, so I was intrigued. Even so, the movie was struggling through strange creative decisions. Eventually, everything moves on to London and at that point it's as though the entire crew just gave up. Every single scene involving a bat is, frankly, laughable. But those scenes are "bone-chilling" compared to the scene where Harker and Quincy get "attacked" by various stuffed animals including an "out of focus" owl. How did that even make the final cut??? Bewildering... I found myself rewinding that one scene over and over and laughing till I cried.

Then there is the abysmal waste of Klaus Kinski. He does not speak one line in the entire film. There seems to be this shoehorned in subplot involving Kinski and Dracula that we never see but are only told about. Somehow after Dracula has killed the man's daughter, Kinski is sort of telepathically linked to Dracula. But in the context of this film, that makes no sense since none of Dracula's other victims are so afflicted.

*I received a review copy of this film in exchange for an honest review

The Dracula legend has been around for over a century and has been told and retold many, many times. As such, every filmmaker who puts the story onscreen puts his or her own spin on it. Because of this, the actual story has become distorted and therefore, unless you’ve read the book, you don’t know how true to the source material a film actually is.

From what I’ve read, Jess Franco’s take on Dracula is fairly accurate, although he took liberties here and there. But one thing is for certain: his decision to cast Christopher Lee as the titular character was an excellent choice. While COUNT DRACULA as a film itself is good, Lee’s portrayal of the vampire is uncanny and unsettling, a good enough reason alone to see what this movie has to offer.

Now remember: this film was shot in 1970, therefore it is obviously dated. But Severin’s HD restoration looks amazing, and it gives the film a new look and feel.

As mentioned, the acting in COUNT DRACULA is excellent, with Lee solidifying his status as a horror icon with his portrayal of the Count. But following him up is Klaus Kinski as Renfield. Kinski appears truly mad in this role, and I had no trouble believing his character to be real. Also in the supporting cast is the incomparable Soledad Miranda, who Franco collaborated with several times prior to her death, and Herbert Lom as Van Helsing.

The story itself is nothing really new (as in, we have seen it before), but Franco does a great job of building a menacing atmosphere around the Count. There’s plenty of tension involved, and the ultimate climax of the story is satisfying and fitting.

COUNT DRACULA is a big win from yesteryear, and fans of classic horror will want to grab this one soon. I enjoyed this take on the legend, and I suggest you give it a shot.
