Dracula:Prince of Darkness 1966.
After being dead for 10 years Count Dracula is revived by the blood of a man staying at his castle with wife, brother and sister in law.
Classic hammer's take on the Dracula story, this time Dracula played by Christopher Lee has no dialogue but that didn't stop him from being menacing as ever. Andrew Keir portrays Father Sandor, abbot at the Klienberg Monastery. Never been a big fan of Francis Mathews but in this film he plays the role of Charles and hapless hero pretty well. Phillip Latham stars as the butler/servant to Dracula Klove who seems to tower over everyone. Even though it was made 8 years after Horror of Dracula and two Dracula films released in between this is a decent follow up to the 1958 film.
