Dracula A.D. 1972.
In 1872, Lawrence Van Helsing died battling Count Dracula, 100 years pass a group of teens hold a black mass thinking its a joke, raise the count again who wants to destroy the family of Van Helsing.
This was a decent entry into the Hammer movies of Dracula, Sir Christopher Lee done on the cape and fangs again with his haunting menacing voice as the undead with his wits pitted against Peter Cushing playing Lorrimer Van Helsing who is the grandson of Lawrence Van Helsing. Stephanie Beacham plays the buxom granddaughter Jessica. This was Filmed In modern times and not like the previous film in 1800s but still holds all the hallmark of the Dracula films and the dark gothic abandoned church. Caroline Munro appears in a small role with William Ellis who seems to be dressed as monk and Christopher Neame as the suspicious Johnny Alucard.
