Dracula A.D. 1972 isn't a great movie. But it is an undeniable hoot to watch especially if, like the Count, "you've got an eye for London's hot pants... " And who doesn't, really?

1/5

This isn't a terrific rationale for another horror flick but, given Miss Beacham's ability to heave, and her bosom to heave with, it will have to do.

Crass Hammer trash.

Lee and Cushing barely share the screen together, a shortcoming that sinks the entire experience far more than its forgivable campy aesthetics.

3/5

Some fun moments, especially the fights between the two Van Helsings and Dracula, but sadly a lot of middle is a bit meh, and the opening 70s shot is near-torturous...

2.5/4

The disappointment involving Dracula A.D. 1972 is that the title character never ventures outside his hiding ground, missing a rich opportunity for some interesting juxtapositions.

Dracula for the era. Hippies, swinging London, still got Peter Cushing and Mr C Lee. Really funny in places but also genuinely scary. A great movie!

This is indeed the very definition of a "cult" movie. It's goes through the "wow, this seems like a bad film" to crawl back on the other shore to "wow, this is brilliant!". I'm sure others will disagree, but I absolutely love this movie, and many of the filming locations in London are still there, including the fabulous Johnny Alucard's flat!

The flick was interesting for sure. You have to watch it with an open mind.

An attempt to bring Dracula into the modern era that failed. Other than the cool clothing, there aren't many good (or groovy) things I can say about this film.

Yes, let us time jump to the most frightening era ever for hoity-toity uptight conservatives who are easily scared by the onslaught of satanic cults operated by hippie communes.

It's not great. Bad acting and sone truly awful musical direction that robs the scenes of any real tension. Not an awful choice for a hungover Sunday movie!
