under most circumstance i award film that can not be appraise honestly a neutral 5/10 score and and there be many reason for do so . extensive cut and abominable presentation and impenetrable dubbing and re editing by distributor who be too clueless to just leave the movie alone and and content that be too oblique for traditional critical appraisal . dracula and son have all of that go wrong to begin with and and then some . currently the film only exist as far a i know in an abominable and unfunny and dishearten 78 minute fullscreen hack job recycle from a columbia picture home video release from 1982. i adore christopher lee and have a thing for bizarre and offbeat and low budget european genre film . to say this movie suck miss the point and however and that what we be see in the 78 minute english print be not the movie that be originally make in 1976. until that turn up and this will have to do . ugh . history tell u that the film be shoot in france and yugoslavia in french with the multi lingual christopher lee first speak his line in english on camera which he sportingly dub into french himself for the original 96 minute version . for whatever reason and columbia picture ( who pick up the movie for distribution in britain and america ) then have a voice actor re dub lee voice back into english all over again when they finally get around to release it in the new world in 1979. not only that and but a see in this english print everybody voice have be re dub by what sound like american voice actor who like to do ton of cocaine and think they be unbearably funny and and get a kick out of young frankenstein and with lot of dork rod brooklyn accent for dracula and his nebbish son ( bernard menez and look confuse most of the time ) and their fetching french love interest ( sexy marie hélène breillat ) and and everybody else in the movie . all of whom be obviously french and and do not look like they grow up on flatbush avenue . just watch the movie for the first time be an extremely painful experience and and it only after multiple forced screening that some of the gag have start to become even mildly amuse . a bit more research and however and reveal some interesting information represent dracula and son be in fact christopher lee final performance a count dracula to date . the film basic story be apparently adapt from a novel of the same name . and this be the 2nd horror or comedy vehicle for it co star and bernard menez and for whom this be a 2nd try at mix vampire thrill with a sex or comedy twist and star a former hammer film bigwig after 1974 even more obscure tendre dracula and with peter cushing in his only screen appearance a the count . which be a good film because they have less to work with and have to push themselves and and come up with more and where it seem with dracula and son they have more money and more access to location and talent and and less disciplined result . so i be not sure what to say about this movie . it impossible to really judge it base upon what leave to see now after 30 year of neglect and abuse . how about this represent you should probably make a point to see it for yourself and and if you find yourself not dislike it too intensely and be please . hopefully someone will restore this to it complete length and there no way to really assess the film a it exist now . but something just tell me that even then it would still suck . negative .
