Marianne (Yvonne Monlaur), a beautiful young French girl, is stranded en route to a teaching assignment in Eastern Europe. She is persuaded to spend the night at the nearly deserted castle of a mysterious Baroness (Martita Hunt). In the castle, Marianne accidentally discovers a man chained to the wall of his room. The Baroness only explains that he is her "sick and feeble-minded" son. Unable to get any further information from the maid Greta (Freda Jackson), Marianne steals a key and sets him free. Once unbound, the Baron (David Peel) fiendishly recruits the undead for his evil purposes until captured by Marianne and the indefatigable Dr. Helsing (Peter Cushing) in this spooky Hammer Films chiller.

The marvellous atmosphere drips with a lingering Gothic ghoulishness, the sexuality is remarkably upfront for its time, and the climax set in the shadow of a moonlit windmill is the stuff of fairy-tale nightmare. Read less

Director Terence Fisher, working from a rather convoluted (and at times incomprehensible) script, makes his mark through a series of marvelous set pieces.

Peter Cushing's Van Helsing is once again a commanding presence and carries the film on his back. A really enjoyable cheesy horror film.

Several instances of lazy scripting further prevent this from attaining total success.
