as Dracula fan and collector of film adaptations of the substance to the world-famous bloodsucker you are already doing now and then some at. While there are films that have been received as an absolute classic in the history, others have - to say the least - deficits. EIGHT of Dracula (The Return of Dracula, 1958) I had not heard anything until I discovered him rummaging in a well-known Internet sales platform. True to the motto "Anything where Dracula stands on it belongs to my DVD shelf, grabbed me and am now a movie in my collection rich. But it's worth to sacrifice 82 minutes (the duration of the film) of his precious free time?
Dracula (Francis Lederer) has there is tired. Behind the Iron Curtain people make his life difficult, so that he is compelled to feels to migrate to the West. The king of the vampires killing a Romanian artist (Norbert Schiller) and assumes his identity. As Bellack Gordal he travels by train (yup. ..) and moves to California with Aunt Mayberry (Greta Granstedt), which has seen her supposed nephew not for ages, and therefore does not recognize that the prince of darkness with only limited to the actual relative has no similarity at all. Even Cousin Rachel (Norma Eberhardt) receives the apparent Bellack with open arms. It will only suspicious, to be a cat of her brother dies (yup. ..) and finally, her best friend Jennie (Virginia Vincent). While Dracula has his eye on Rachel, life is coming from the home of the vampire ...
Smoking can be deadly ... as you can see ... Oh yes ... I wish that I could say that we are dealing here with a trashy film that has but just because. Unfortunately this is not so, because he is just plain boring. Basically, he retells the classic Dracula story, the beginning of jumps in Transylvania and goes straight into the second part where Dracula moves to England. Here is England but was replaced by an America of the 50s, the germ-free could not be. The action frame extends But with such a yawning low speed that you begin to understand what Dracula means when he talks about a centuries of life.
There is exactly one atmospheric scene, and that is when the undead Jennie a policeman lured into a trap. Your light in a dress-clad figure, seen from a distance has already scary. Unfortunately, this will be promptly taken ad absurdum, as a murdered policeman said moment of a wild dog (wolf?), Which is easily visible with a collar (the dog, not the cop). Who now believes that the film could perhaps be meant in a humorous, which I would only say that we are dealing with such a creaky "serious" Movie have to do that it's been dusted. Any hint of irony was nipped in the bud. One may not believe that we are dealing with a production made by United Artists. Mind you, the company that sent shortly JAMES BOND in series ...
Please! Take this cross, only let us out of this contract! Perhaps we may be able actors rauszureißen something? Think again. Pretty much the entire ensemble remains colorless. The most colossal mistake is the production of Dracula. Unless you want to be directed by Paul Landres (a TV veteran) the chief vampire pedophile act as a vacuum cleaner salesman. A "great" idea but then had Landres. is impaled in the moment when Jennie bubbles, for some frames in the best of their blood red (while the rest of the film is in black and white). For an American film, perhaps alarmingly, but compared to the ridiculous play DRACULA made by Hammer, who came in the same year the cinema, and at least four classes of this production.
Bizarrely, Dracula EIGHT carries in the U.S. now and then the title of THE FANTASTIC DISAPPEARING MAN. Sadly this is by far the most interesting in the whole movie. One of the least interesting films and palest of the substance to the vampire from Transylvania. Besides absolute Dracula fans and collectors old horror movies (crap, this is true both for me too) are not recommended. But poor you go anyway. Ever heard of DRACULA 3000 is one? No? I will discuss in the near future here.
