Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968)

We’re returning for our penultimate Hammer Films Dracula feature this month and we aren’t with Terence Fisher this week, instead we check out an early director work by the acclaimed cinematogrpaher, Freddie Francis. Last we saw Dracula, his sad-ass fell into some ice. How does he get out of that pickle? Well, a sadder-ass priest slips on some rocks right outside of the castle and bleeds into cracks in the ice which happens to be right over Dracula’s mouth. That’s more than enough to bring our most tragic fuckboy back into the fold. We’re going on about Hammer Film’s third Christopher Lee Dracula portrayal in 1968’s “DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE”. Dracula is definitely looking for love and he’s found the right girl, but he will have to contend with her Monsignor Uncle and her hunky atheist boyfriend. Will Atheist Paul’s experience in dealing with Dracula lead him to to understand that a lifetime of guilt and self loathing is the way to go? Dracula actually might be Catholic if you think about it. He fears the faith just as those within it do.
