10 Weirdest Dracula Adaptations
7. Count Dracula's Great Love
It’s weird. It’s basic. It’s kind of pointless. It’s Dracula stripped back, so that his only motivation is to kill and torture some women.
The costumes look like they came out of an am-dram spares box and the acting is as flimsy as an am-dram set. It’s a ‘70s vamp flick so there are helpings of boobs, blood and lesbians, but that doesn’t distract from the general low quality.
Count Dracula’s Great Love is trying to be atmospheric, scary and erotic. It doesn’t manage to be any of them.
Its wafer-thin story just doesn’t fill the run time, as such, there’s a whole lot of nothing going on. It’s crazy that this story is so lacking, considering the source material is so rich.
If you’re looking for some scantily clad ’70s horror, skip this one and watch anything from Jess Franco or Dario Argento. If you’ve seen all that before, well, there’s no harm watching it again.
