Mar 14, 2003Contemporary Hammer Dracula Sequel
The eight of Hammer's Dracula, the second-to-last they would make and the last featuring Christopher Lee. This follows on from the previous film Dracula A.D. 1972 in featuring Dracula in the present day and at least does more with the idea than that film did

Oct 21, 2013Musical Monster Bash
Bizarre musical monster bash with singer Harry Nilsson as Dracula's son and Ringo Starr as Merlin. A film that seems to have no real clue what it is doing beyond friends having a good time. Nilsson makes surely the screen's least threatening Dracula, while this is the worst film from the usually great Freddie Francis

David Lynch disowned his film version of the classic Frank Herbert SF novel. However, Lynch may be incapable of making a bad film and this, while acting freely with the book, has a visual grandeur that makes it highly watchable
