Dracula AD 1972 (3½ Stars)

This was the seventh of Hammer's classic Dracula films starring Christopher Lee. It's the first to be set in modern day London; all the previous films take place in the 18th and 19th Centuries.

A young disciple of Dracula, with the rather silly name of Johnny Alucard, decides to resurrect Count Dracula on the 100th anniversary of his last death by staking. Dracula's goal is to take revenge on the Van Helsing family by killing the great-granddaughter of the man who staked him. We see scenes of swinging London, but at least the pop group that is featured, Stoneground, is a real 1970's group. This film isn't exceptional in itself, but I'm sure that fans of Hammer Horror will want to add it to their collection.
