This Hammer Studios classic is far closer to the letter (and spirit) of the
Bram Stoker novel than the
Bela Lugosi version of
Dracula. The premise finds the infamous count journeying from his native Transylvania to England, where he takes a headfirst plunge into the London nightlife, and begins to rack up victim after victim. In the process,
Dracula also runs into his arch-nemesis,
Van Helsing (
Peter Cushing), which ignites a battle of wills between the two. Heavily censored in Britain when released (with the goriest moments truncated), this outing was restored by the
BFI in the mid-late 2000s. It put
Lee and
Cushing on the map and paved the way for many sequels starring the two, and for many non-
Dracula follow-ups with these actors as well.
