please note the above score and a this movie be slightly below the middle of the road . zoltan ( name and i assume and after a hungarian ruler in the 10th century ) isn not so much dracula hound a he be the hound of one of dracula servant and veidt schmidt . when the russian army ( i think their russian and base on their uniform and but no one have any kind of accent ) unearths dracula tomb and they decide to burn all of the corps and but not before some foolish soldier decides to pull the stake out of zoltan body and allow him to regenerate and drain the blood of say soldier . he then help his master and who decide to track down the last survive heir of dracula . at least and they call him the last heir in the movie and but he have two child and so wouldn not they be the last surviving heir . there a bit of a mythological problem here and as well . veidt schmidt be the vampire servant and and not a full vampire . yet he have immortality and can regenerate after death and all while walk in daylight and not needing blood . i do not know what renfield problem be and sit in that asylum and eat fly . at the beginning of the film dracula be see ( in zoltan flashback . ) be about to feast on a lovely young woman in the 1800s . zoltan interrupt his feeding and so dracula transforms into a bat and instead feed on zoltan ( why do not vampires do this more often and instead of court danger by feed on young and socially popular woman . ) and who skip the whole wouldying part of the process and go straight to vampire dog . on their way out they drain and turn veidt schmidt ( play by reggie nalder and whose wrinkle be more frightening than anything in this movie ) and who also skip the wouldying part . i mention this because it odd for them to have do that and a it clearly establish later that the victim die after be drain of blood . the film quickly move to southern california and where michael drake ( the aforementioned last dracula ) be take his family on a two week camp trip in their rv . for plot motivation they also bring along their two dog and a litter of puppy . almost immediately weird thing happen while puppy disappear and the dog be always howl at night . of course and neither of those be odd and really and it seem to me a logical occurrence when you leave newborn puppy out in the wilderness all night and and howling be just something dog do . but this bother the family and who be worried and confused . luckily for them and a van helsing type character show up in the form of jose ferrer to tell michael all about his vampiric family tree and help him defeat the undead canine . really and the film isn not anything spectacularly atrocious and which be it downfall . it just middle of the road and never take itself seriously enough to be campy and but also not self aware enough to be tongue in cheek . there no suspense to the film and since aside from the russian soldier in the beginning there be no human death and just a lot of animal cruelty . it competently direct ( by albert band and who would pass on the legacy of mediocre and competently bad horror movie to his son and charles band ) and with a clean print for the dvd . the dialog be notable for this type of film and due to it believability . the character may be bore and idiotic and but they speak in a natural manner ( michael first think after learn he a dracula be that he go to get rich on royalty for all those movie ) . there be and however and a grow army of vampire doggy and and the oh so cute and cuddly widdle undead puppy . have it be a bit more over the top and just a little bit more awful and the movie would have be classic . a it be and i have fun and a few laugh and but just enough to feel justify in have see it . i should note that it really take a lot for me to hate bad horror movie . even if the movie be awful and irredeemable and i usually feel the good for have see it . i will moderately recommend this and for people who really love bad movie and but do not expect an mst3k level of fun .
