Count Dracula guises himself as a warlord to gather 6 vampires together in a obscure Chinese village. It's up to Prof. Van Helsing to save the day and stop Dracula's schemes. Not only was this an absurd plot, but it was nowhere near as entertaining as it sounded. Hammer was throwing in everything but the kitchen sink to try and restore the Dracula series to what it once was. Unfortunately, audacious (dare I say ludicrous) ideas like this sunk any chances that it had. To be fair, this series should have stopped after Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. Kung-Fu and Vampires is a potentially lethal mix, but it's not that way at all. Even the action scenes failed to ignite my interest. John-Forbes Robertson isn't on the screen much as Dracula, and when he is, he's disguised. He was a very poor Dracula, lacking the menacing presence of Christopher Lee. Peter Cushing seems very bored and phones it in, not that I blame him. There is actually a surprising amount of blood for this sort of thing. A sword impaling and slit throats are highlights
This is by far the worst Dracula film in the Hammer series. Don't be persuaded into this drivel by the thought of vampires and martial arts together. It's nowhere near as fun as you might think
3/10
