Dracula's daughter herself is strange and memorable,far better than the tawdry B-movie in which she made her first and last appearance.

The film is so clumsy and so off the mark that it winds up being a throwaway piece, something for Universal Monster completists only.

Although it is a marked improvement on the original film, it's still a bit of a snooze, relying too much on forced comedy and not enough on suspense or fright.

A mournful and somber sequel that is more atmosphere than horror.

Ultra stylish, entertaining sequel to Dracula with unusually adult romantic leads
