The Satanic Rites of Dracula

Oh, get over it, it's not as bad as you think. It's a Hammer film for crying out loud. As Nate has repeatedly pointed out, anything with Peter Cushing is worth watching, and Christopher Lee is an added bonus. Dracula is alive (sort of) and well in modern day London (1972 modern) and heads a Satanic rite composed of renowned scientists, politicians, military leaders, and land owners, with the promises of power and innovation. But you never can trust the father of lies. Fortunately, the Van Helsing family has been on Dracula's trail for generations. It's not great Hammer, but it's not bad either. In fact, I found myself rather enjoying it at times. Cushing and Lee probably make it feel more intelligent and reputable than it really is, but who cares? It just goes to show, you can't go wrong with a good vampire flick.
