Campy horror flick, but highly entertaining. Groovy teens looking for kicks get suckered by their friend Johnny Alucard (hello?!) into resurrecting Dracula. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee reprise their roles as [the ancestor of] Van Helsing and Dracula respectively. Good-looking young actors (look especially for Caroline Munro who went on to be a Bond girl in The Spy Who Loved Me), Cushing and Lee, a great jazzy disco-style score (with lots of gothic score elements still there), and an enormous helping of cheese make this a fun vampire flick. Ultimately, this is a hip installment of the Hammer Horror series that is an example of how silly teens and gothic horror should mix.
7/10
