Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Yes, it's the one with a character called Johnny Alucard! The occasional attempt on the part of the cast to Frenchify this galumphing not-a-palindrome ("Johnny Alucarrrrr...") fools no-one, of course, because we all know this young anti-hero of the Chelsea set has a surname that spells "Dracula" backwards because he's the undead (or maybe reincarnated) servant of the fangsome menace himself. On the pretext of dragging his group of chums into a supposedly fake Black Mass by way of teenage kicks, Alucard of course succeeds in his aim of awakening the undead Count Dracula, who promptly swears vengeance on all and sundry. This is unsurprising, perhaps, given that one of the group is Jessica Van Helsing, youngest and firmest of the family which has battled the vampire for generations.

Dracula A.D. 1972 is a particularly camp entry in the long-running Hammer horror saga with lots of period detail for retro fans (although it's fascinating how, given only the usual brief production time-lag, the film is clearly a product of 60s pop culture and actually seems to pre-date its title by several years). Lee and Cushing are their usual dignified selves amidst the swinging Londoners, and Stephanie Beacham's bosom heaves magnificently in the time-honoured tradition. --Roger Thomas --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 starsDracula AD 1972 - Fangtastic attempt at injecting new blood into a tired series
By Victor HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on 21 Sept. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Some 14 years and five sequels on from `The Horror of Dracula', the original and best Hammer film starring Christopher Lee as the anaemic Count and Peter Cushing as his stake wielding nemesis Van Helsing, comes this rather interesting attempt at reviving the ailing series.

Following from the success of the original film, a whole series of sequels followed. The quality got steadily worse, until the absolute nadir was reached with camp and terrible `The Scars of Dracula', which preceded this film. None of the films repeated the pairing of Lee and Cushing, until this one.

Deciding to try and recapture some of the old magic, and trying to take the series in a new direction, the producers brought back the classic double act of Lee and Cushing, and took the brave decision to update the series from the eighteenth century Gothic settings that had made Hammer's name, and set it in contemporary London.

Largely, it works well. Dracula is an undead being, with unlimited lifespan, so why not? The presence of Van Helsing 100 years after his last appearance is easily and believably explained by his being the grandson of the original. Lee and Cushing are both, as usual, excellent value for money, and in their scenes together the old magic does show through a bit. Stephanie Beecham is pretty good as Van Helsing's granddaughter, who is unwittingly involved in the resurrection of you know who, and becomes the target of his vengeance on the Van Helsing line. And Michael Cole is excellent as the police officer investigating a series of strange killings in which all of the victim's blood has been drained from their bodies - sound familiar to anyone?Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsTo me this is actually the best of all the Hammer Dracula movies
By Amazon Customer on 17 July 2014
Format: DVD
To me this is actually the best of all the Hammer Dracula movies. It has a darkness about it that makes it the scariest of all of them. Especially the resurrection of Dracula in the church. Alucard's character is actually reciting the names of real (at least mythically) demons. Caroline Monro's (what a sexy woman!, wish she was in it till the end) demise is scary and erotic! And the opening scene in Hyde Park is also great. As well as the final fight in the church. If there had been a couple more scenes like that in the movie, it would of been thought of a lot better today. That's my only criticism. Apart from those three scenes, you don't see that much more of Dracula. Wish they had shot more scenes that were edited out. Be great to suddenly get a new 'Extended' edition! However, As far as I know they didn't. However, Stephanie Beecham is also a great looker, and she is another good reason to watch it. (And she's in it till the end!)

Those who say it shouldn't of been set in modern London, think about it. If Dracula (and vampires in general) actually existed for real, they wouldn't of just lived in Transylvania of the past. Unless someone killed them, (and Dracula always comes back) they would be here with us today. And it stands to reason they would go to big cities like London, where they could pick their prey amongst millions. Indeed, the Dracula of Bram Stokers actual novel travels to Whitby in England.

Anyway, like I said at the beginning. I love this movie. It's by far my favourite of all the Dracula films. Dark set pieces, Eerie music, Caroline Monro, Stephanie Beecham. Fantastic!

4.0 out of 5 stars(Un)dead groovy, man!
By Jeremy W. Newbould on 13 Feb. 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Seeing this film again on DVD brings back fond memories as this was one of the first horror films I ever saw.

Nowadays this film seems very tame indeed (it was made before The Exorcist, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Freddy & Jason etc) but it is still a lot of fun. For starters it has a terrific cast. Christopher Lee is of course Count Dracula and Peter Cushing plays Lorimar Van Helsing, a modern day descendant of Lawrence Van Helsing. The Hammer Glamour is mainly provided by Stephanie Beacham (as Lorimar Van Helsing's grand daughter, Jessica) and the amazing Caroline Munro.

The movie begins with an all-action prologue with Lawrence Van Helsing (also played by Cushing) battling Dracula onboard a speeding horse-drawn coach in Hyde Park. The coach eventually crashes and Dracula is impaled on the spokes of a broken wheel (ouch!!!). Van Helsing also dies but not until he has witnessed the evil Count (no Carry On-Style gag intended there) reduced to a pile of dust. However, someone else has also witnessed the Count's demise...

The opening credits roll and we are then transported 100 years forward to the present day (well 1972, anyway). Dracula is resurrected by one of his disciples Johnny Alucard (hmmm... I wonder what you get if you spell that surname backwards?) in a black mass ceremony involving lots of blood and Dracula then sets out to wreak revenge on the Van Helsings by planning to make Jessica his vampire bride.

There are some wonderful set pieces in this film - the opening sequence is very well done and the showdown between Lorimar Van Helsing and Johnny Alucard is memorable.Read more ›
