Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. 1968.
A year has passed since Dracula was defeated and sent to a watery grave, a Monsignor has traveled to Keinenberg to exorcise Castle Dracula with the local minister who accidentally resurrects Dracula and seeks revenge.
The third Dracula film to star Christopher Lee, and does have a small piece of dialogue and delivers it with a great menacing voice and creepy facial expressions with his red blood shocked eyes.
Rupert Davies plays the Monsignor who attempts to banish the evil away from the small village only for local minister Ewan Hooper to mess it up and become a servant of the count. Barry Andrews (who would go on to star in Blood On Satan's Claw) plays the young tavern worker and atheist, not the best thing to say to the Monsignor is roped in to take on Dracula with a little bit of help and knowledge and rescue his love interest Veronica Carlson (R.I.P).
It does start off well from a body being found in a church and why people by pass Sunday service then jumps to a year later. This has the hallmarks of Hammer from a great storyline, dark night atmosphere, brilliant cinematography even with a rooftop chase and a nice Gothic style back ground score and a great ending of everyone being able to find religion.
