Product Description
In this sequel to 'Dracula' (1958), four English tourists are holidaying in the Carpathians when they meet the unconventional Father Sandor (Andrew Keir) at an inn. He warns them to avoid the local castle if they value their lives, but the next day the quartet find themselves stranded in the mountains after their driver abandons them. When a driverless carriage arrives they board it, intending to travel to the nearest village. However, the carriage instead takes them to the very castle which Sandor warned them against, where they are welcomed by Klove (Philip Latham), sinister manservant of Count Dracula (Christopher Lee)...

Well I got the replacement discs today and it's a vast improvement. The sound issues have been corrected, the pretitle sequence has been totally redone. I0000% better. Still not happy at the amount of DNR in the main film but it's still the best version to date until we see what any USA company does.
Impressed with the fact that Studio Canal listened to the complaints. Hopefully there will be no more problems with the widescreen hammer films and leave the grain alone.........

Lots of people seem to have moaned over this Blu-Ray release not presenting the flm as it should be seen. Whilst I am no expert on talking about film grain and aspect ratios etc, all I can say is that I disagree with them, the colour and scope have never looked better than here, and the fine detail is beautiful. In comparison with the DVD from the Optimum releasing 21 Hammer film box set, this version knocks it clear out of the water.
Any Hammer fans should be thrilled with this release which also has a lot of nice extras, including a new commentary from the main cast, and some interviews and on set footage from 1965. Recommended.

I have to commend Hammer and Studio Canal for listening to the feedback and taking decisive action regarding the earlier issues with this release. After fixing the sound issues they have also negated some of the DNR overkill in the opening sequence. It is an excellent release which they have done a very good job of, given the constraints of the source material. I always would prefer some kind of viewing notes booklet with any movie release and would have given it five stars if there had been one, but in terms of extras etc this is pretty comprehensive. Well done

that the first disc is the BD region free and that the 'actual' BD is the one that is for region two? I've also noticed this for the BD of COF.
