6/10

At least the weirdness gives it a surprising, fresh edge that might as well pass for good by this point in the cycle.

O fundo do poço para os monstros clássicos. Um "crossover" preguiçoso que abandona o terror gótico para inventar justificações pseudo-científicas absurdas sobre transfusões e cirurgias cerebrais para curar maldições. (Esqueci de avaliar)

I like Lon Chaney Jr but he ill suited to play Dracula The early Universal horror films are all pretty classy whereas this film is cartoonishly silly from the get-go.

Well, at least House of Dracula is short. This sloppy sequel to House of Frankenstein comes up short in almost every way, and the faults can be attributed to a lazy screenwriter, studio interference, cutting corners on a shoestring budget, and acting so wooden it could pierce the heart of the undead. This movie doesn’t really even try to explain how Dracula and Larry Talbot survived the events of the last one. It also makes the Count a victim instead of a vampire and absurdly waves its hands about the "science" behind the "cure." I’m sad to say that The House of Dracula should probably be condemned.

Drácula e o Lobisomem procuram o Dr. Edelmann para curá-los das suas maldições, porém Drácula está mais interessado em transformar a enfermeira Miliza em uma das suas seguidoras. Este filme é quase um copia e cola do anterior, "Mansão de Frankenstein". Há diferenças: Edelmann não é um cientista louco como o personagem de Karloff e é uma das enfermeiras o corcunda auxiliar do cientista. Enquanto o Lobisomem continua a mesma trama de sempre, Carradine torna o Drácula mais um nobre inglês que estrangeiro, mas continua o bom trabalho do filme anterior. O Monstro de Frankenstein é inútil nessa história. Só serve para criar uma continuidade. Temos boas ideias como a entrada disfarçada de outro monstro clássico, no caso o Mister Hyde. Mas como sempre, vamos para um final abrupto e corrido que não aproveita todo o potencial da história, pois vende como tendo o encontro dos monstros e isso não acontece.
