(*) Dracula: Prince of Darkness ****
UK: Terence Fisher, 1966 I first saw Dracula: Prince of Darkness around four years ago late one Halloween night -- coincidentally, a couple of nights before or after I first saw Suspiria, The Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. While this Hammer Horror romp has nothing on these three seminal films, it remains a thoroughly enjoyable piece of claptrap. Time has not been kind to it, admittedly, with some of the sets and performances coming across as decidedly cheap, but this is a real nostalgia trip and is made all the more enjoyable by the fact that it is so clearly a product of a different era. Christopher Lee, who by the way speaks no dialogue at all in this movie, is exquisitely menacing, the photography is wonderful, the score is evocative, and all in all there is much fun to be had despite its shortcomings.

Movies
Welcome to the movie checklist!
This section is an archive listing every movie I've seen from January 1 2005 onwards. Films I have already seen are included and will be marked with a (*), but probably won't be reviewed except under special circumstances. I will be including a rating for each film (in stars, out of 5), and hope to be able to include a brief 1-2 paragraph review of each film, although due to time constraints that won't always be possible.
