be too young to have experience the hammer film when they be fresh and new and i be discover their hallow horror film a i find them on dvd . i know it be almost a decade and half between them but it hard to see much of the magic in the original hammer dracula in this late entry to the christopher lee series . the original hammer vampire story have lot of atmosphere and a terrific story to get involve in . lee be a great dracula and a vibrant vampire if that possible and in the early outing but here he be nothing more than a cardboard character that mostly stand around and look threaten . the modish young people talk like cartoon character ( even though my aunt live in england during the 1970s and she say people actually talk with those awful clichés ) . i have no interest whatsoever in who live or die amongst the young crowd . they be all pretty terrible character anyway . i do enjoy see a young and charismatic caroline munro while but she leave the story too early . lee and his historic nemesis peter cushing add an air of authenticity to the film but they can not draw blood from this empty film . it d. o. a .
