The Count is back, with an eye for London’s hotpants… and a taste for everything.

Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972) begins when Count Dracula is resurrected in modern-day London by a group of thrill-seeking youths dabbling in the occult. As the vampire resumes his reign of terror, Professor Lorrimer Van Helsing, descendant of Dracula’s old nemesis, must once again confront the ancient evil to protect his granddaughter and end the blood curse. This stylish blend of Gothic horror and early 1970s pop culture infuses Hammer’s vampire saga with a contemporary twist.
