Horror Of Dracula (1958)

My rating - 8.5/10

(click on images below for larger versions)

When Jonathan Harker arrives at Dracula's castle to take a job there under false pretenses he quickly discovers the count's secret and in an attempt to kill Dracula he seals his fate. As Dracula goes on a killing spree in search of fresh blood Professor Van Helsing hunts him down to stop his reign of terror.

Considered by many to be the best version of Dracula based on Bram Stoker's classic book, it is indeed a classic!. Hammer's visual style, the sets, Christopher Lee's iconic portrayal of Dracula and Peter Cushing's memorable performance as Van Helsing all come together to make a stunning film.

I've always loved this movie and in my opinion it's still the best film the Hammer studios ever made. It's one of those movies that would be on a list of films every horror fan needs to see before they die and comes highly recommended.
