Brides of Dracula
Brides of Dracula (1960)
•
In Transylvania, the teacher Marianne Danielle
is heading to a small village where she will teach French and etiquette for
teenage girls. The stagecoach stops at a village and when Marianne is preparing
to eat dinner, the coachman goes away and leaves her in the inn. Out of the
blue, Baroness Meinster comes to the place and invites Marianne to spend the
night in her castle, where she lives with her servant Greta. During the night,
Marianne sees a man in a balcony and she learns that he is Baron Meinster, the
insane son of the Baroness. Later Marianne believes that he will jump off the
balcony and she goes to his room and finds that he is chained by his mother.
Marianne decides to help him to escape and steals the key from the Baroness'
room. Then she leaves the castle and is found by Dr. J. Van Helsing, who has
been invited by the local priest to treat a disease. Soon Van Helsing learns
that Marianne has unleashed a vampire that is murdering the dwellers of the
village.
Personal Review: Hammer at its best! One of my favorites
since I was small and saw it on Sat. morning horror movie tv. Peter Cushing is at his Van Helsing best
(only Horror of Dracula was better) and performances by Martita Hunt, Yvonne
Monlaur, Freda Jackson, David Peel and others make this one worth seeing, a
lot. Who doesn’t wince when Peter
Cushing picks up that branding iron?
