Dracula (1958)

This is a Hammer Films production starring the enigmatic Christopher Lee as Count Dracula and Peter Cushing as Dr Van Helsing. I have seen this film a few times and still really can’t believe how old it is now, it’s 60 years old and still a great film. They have played around a lot with the original story to make it fit the big screen format. It is still recognisably Dracula though. I can’t imagine how audiences might have originally received it and whether they were frightened by it. I’ve never found the Hammer films very scary personally but I still enjoy watching them. Dracula is one of their classics, I can recommend this to everyone and especially anyone who hasn’t seen it previously.
