This is it. After more than six decades, the Count returns, looking better than ever. Never before seen in North American theatres.
In 1958, Hammer Films changed horror cinema forever. This October, Dracula returns to the big screen.
Painstakingly restored in 4K from the best original archival materials sourced from around the world, this definitive restoration includes footage believed missing for over six decades — deemed too shocking for UK and US audiences at the time, and previously seen only during the film's original 1958 Japanese theatrical release.
Restored by Hammer Films and Silver Salt Restoration in partnership with Warner Bros, this is the cut the censors tried to bury, finally uncensored.
On a search for his missing friend Jonathan Harker (John Van Eyssen), vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) is led to Count Dracula's (Christopher Lee) castle. Upon arriving, Van Helsing finds an undead Harker in Dracula's crypt and discovers that the count's next target is Harker's ailing fiancée, Lucy Holmwood (Carol Marsh). With the help of her brother, Arthur (Michael Gough), Van Helsing struggles to protect Lucy and put an end to Count Dracula's parasitic reign of terror.
"Christopher Lee's Dracula is a menacing and complex presence who never lets his fangs and cape dominate." - Time Out
"A film that deserves recognition as one of this country's finest horror movies, a sexually charged Gothic nightmare featuring standout performances from Hammer stalwarts Lee and Peter Cushing, who stars as vampire hunter Van Helsing." - BBC
