Jul 20th
Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
GB 1968. Warner Bros/Seven Arts/Hammer. 92m.

Count Dracula wreaks vengeance on the priest who has isolated him from his castle.
The lines are showing in this clumsily scripted addition to the Hammer horror cycle, where the usual hard-working economical production values lack a good deal of atmosphere, despite the best that acting and art direction can do.

Written by: John Elder (Anthony Hinds).
Producer: Aida Young.
Director: Freddie Francis.
Starring: Christopher Lee, Veronica Carlson, Rupert Davies, Barry Andrews, Barbara Ewing, Ewan Hooper, Marion Mathie, Michael Ripper, George A. Cooper.
Photography: Arthur Grant.
Music: James Bernard.
Art Direction: Bernard Robinson.

When I get organised, I'm going to collect my fave hammer horror flicks on DVD (or blu-ray). I like watching these, especially around Halloween. Most of them are very entertaining, and it is nice to spot the British flm stars of yester-year.
