| Pros |
The movie isn't that bad, if you disregard all the Dracula baggage. |
| Cons |
A poor sendoff for Christopher Lee. |
| Bottom Line |
Not a great flick, but not horrible either. As the last chapter of a great series, however, it falls way short of expectations. |

| Pros |
Interesting idea for the plot. Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. |
| Cons |
Horrible music. Plot drags and wasn't handled well. |
| Bottom Line |
The Satanic Rites of Dracula had an interesting idea for the plot, but it ultimately failed to be a good vampire movie. |

| Pros |
Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee |
| Cons |
Just about everything else, particularly the musical score. |
| Bottom Line |
A waste of two great talents in the end of the line of a legendary film saga. |
| Pros |
Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing; an interesting story premise |
| Cons |
Poor follow through |
| Bottom Line |
Poor entry in the Hammer horror series. This one has good acting and a genuinely creative story, but the follow through is poor and the conclusion lousy. |

| Pros |
It's a Hammer Dracula film, with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing |
| Cons |
but their talents are wasted in this modern setting, with a mediocre plot. |
| Bottom Line |
Rent this DVD. Unless you can find it cheap, or are a rabid fan of Lee and Cushing. There's some cheesy fun, but not enough for a solid recommendation. |
