Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

bkoganbing One thing I will say about Blood Of Dracula. It revives the tradition that was reserved for B westerns in that the title has nothing to do with the famous Transylvanian Vampire Count. Other than to say that the murders committed in this film are said to be Dracula like, Dracula has nothing to do with the film. I guess American International Pictures thought that the count's name would bring in some box office.Well if you're expecting Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee pass this right on by. This concerns some chilling murders that occur in and around Mary Adams's school for girls. In this case we have a woman mad scientist in Louise Lewis and she's conducting experiments involving an impressionable young teen played by Sandra Harrison. A little hypnosis and Harrison reverts to the primitive which includes turning into a girl werewolf replete with fangs and sucking the blood dry out of those she kills. It's all a puzzle to the homicide cop Malcolm Atterbury.In the worst of science fiction films the scientist is always saying that this is all for the benefit of humankind. Even female scientists are saying that. How turning a young teen girl into a primitive homicidal maniac is beyond me.This film is one camp hoot with cheap cinematography, no production values and players delivering their lines in anticipation of their checks clearing. Let's hope they got paid for this drivel.

GL84 After arriving at a women's boarding school, a college student finds a powerful amulet turns her into a ravenous vampiric beast, and her rampage across the town leaves her boyfriend and his friends to race to stop her.This was a pretty decent and overall enjoyable vampire entry. One of the more enjoyable aspects here is the pretty innovative and unique methods of unleashing the vampire. By utilizing the vampirization as more of a hypnotic state than a physical being, it adds a special dimension to the creature by bypassing many of the different shortcomings associated with that story being presented here, which really hurts the film a lot but offers pretty intriguing change-up from the usual origin that happens in these stories. The fact that this one does switch around the vampire origins is quite confusing altogether because the focus of making her a vampire is overall useless because it doesn't affect the story one way or another, which is the most puzzling part. That, when combined with the utterly irritating teen antics that include a show-stopping song number that's utterly atrocious, these are really the most detrimental parts to this. It's got a rousing finale and some nice atmosphere when it counts for several of the initial attack scenes so it does have some decent points about it.Today's Rating-PG: Mild Violence.

Scarecrow-88 You might as well call this "I Was a Teenage Vampire"; "Blood of Dracula" seems especially made for the teenage drive-in crowd of the 50s. The plot is weird and the ending so abrupt, not to mention, there isn't technically any "blood of Dracula" in the whole movie, strange that this was given such a title. Perhaps the title was a way to appeal to an audience so they would come to the drive-in? The film follows a new student at an all-girls boarding school who becomes the victim of a devious science teacher using an ancient amulet from the Carpathian Mountains that can "inflict vampirism"(?), resulting in murders on campus. Sandra Harrison is Nancy, a disgruntled teen girl angered at her father for marrying after her mother had been dead only six weeks(!), hitching up with a money-grubbing woman who wanted all his attention. Louise Lewis is Miss Branding, a science teacher (with a laboratory for conducted experiments and research), who mentions to her prize pupil, Myra (Gail Ganley) that she had been scorned by the male scientific community for experiments regarding humans and their ability to be a weapon (or this is the best way I could think of to surmise her reasons, strongly influenced by her negative feelings for radiation and its use to destroy). Branding believes Nancy is her key to explaining that we don't need to use radiation to kill that mankind itself is a weapon. Through the use of the amulet, Branding places Nancy under hypnosis and has control over the poor girl. Even worse, Nancy cannot control the vampirism which is a compulsion that leads to multiple attacks at night. The same transformation effects (using dissolves, with applied make-up and fangs) are used for each attack and they are pretty lame. The way the ending is framed, it seems as if the production run out of money and said, "Screw it. Let's just cut our losses." I wasn't satisfied with the ending but did think the premise behind the vampirism was at least different and original if a bit daffy. The real villain here is Branding and her psychopathy seems fueled by a warped philosophy—she believes her experiments will save mankind, taking us away from the use of the atom bomb as a weapon of mass destruction, yet the knowledge of using humans as such seems just as misguided. The song and dance number, "Puppy Love", comes out of nowhere and gave me the giggles, but it seems appropriate for a movie such as this. If this had been about 15 minutes longer with a better finale, I think this could have been a bit better (the police's involvement in the storyline, along with the young coroner's belief that vampirism is the culprit behind the crimes is given much importance yet they factor very little in the final portion of the movie). I do like the idea of a female vampire, controlled by a mad female scientist, so at least "Blood of Dracula" has that going for it—it is just too bad Dracula, despite being named in the title, has nothing to do with this movie at all. From the director of "I Was a Teenage Frankenstein".

Chris Gaskin Blood Of Dracula is a typical of the drive-ins that Americain International came out with in the 1950's, aimed at teenagers. I quite liked this one.After her mum dies and dad remarries, a girl is sent to a boarding school where she is hypnotised by one of her teachers as part of an ongoing experiment connected to the supernatural. This turns her into a fanged vampire and she kills several people. The police are baffled by these murders and when she refuses to look at her teacher at the end, tragedy strikes... Includes somebody singing Puppy Love.Blood of Dracula has some creepy music and creepy locations as well, especially the night scenes. The vampire make-up looks pretty good for a low budget movie.The cast is mostly made up of unknowns, lead by Sandra Harrison, her only movie according to IMDb.Blood Of Dracula is a must for B-movie followers out there.Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
