Critics' reviews

"The thrills do not arise sufficiently smooth out of atmosphere."

Variety Staff: Variety
"[A] routine scare production from Hammer."

TV Guide
"Once Dracula is up and about, the script can't find much for him to do, but there are spirited performances from Shelley and Kier, as a gun-toting monk who fills in for Van Helsing. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

William Thomas: Empire
"Full of the sensual mysteriousness which Hammer used to achieve so effortlessly during their long occupation of Bray Studios."

David Pirie: Time Out
"This is a text-book example of top-grade ghoulish horror from Hammer's golden era."

Alan Jones: Radio Times
