About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like classic Hammer horror, Gothic mood, and stories about respectable society hiding ugly secrets, especially if The Vampire Lovers or To the Devil a Daughter worked for you; Not for you if you want nonstop action or lots of Dracula.
Pros: strong Gothic atmosphere; intriguing setup; sinister lead presence | Cons: slow middle stretch; Dracula underused; weak finale
