An effective British horror that benefits from a classy cast, an intriguing subtext and plenty of atmosphere courtesy of Peter Sasdy's directing.

Thematically intriguing %u2014 a sort of broadside attack on Victorian hypocrisy.

The strangest and most confused of the Dracula films up to that point, and the first of Hammer's vampire films where the bad elements seriously threaten to outnumber the good.

Given the lack of Lee screen time, 'Taste' is actually a pretty damn good Hammer film, with a strong story, the usual stock of excellent actors, great costumes, etc.

Is this Dracula 4 or 5 for Christopher Lee? No matter for his fans, it's never enough.

...a vampire film where the vampire hardly shows his face or fangs.
