0ur opinion:

:
Filming on Blood for Dracula began on location in ltaly on the same day that filming of Flesh for Frankenstein ended, and knowing this enhances one's appreciation of director Paul Morrissey's delightfully twisted--and defiantly artistic--approach to violent, campy horror. 0riginally titled Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and Andy Warhol's Dracula, both films are blessed by Morrissey's opulent visual style (he and his ltalian cinematographer worked wonders with modest budgets), and both showcase Udo Kier and the languorous hunk Joe Dallesandro in opposing roles. Here we find Udo Kier as Count Dracula, looking even more ashen than usual and desperate for the blood of virgins to restore his waning health. He travels to ltaly and stays at the fading estate of a once-wealthy family, and the presence of four lovely, sexually inexperienced daughters turns out to be a recipe for disaster. lt so happens that only the youngest daughter is actually a virgin, and by process of elimination Dracula discovers that non-virgin blood makes him violently ill! Dallesandro plays the resident handyman--handy in more ways than one, as the daughters have learned--who dares to protect the remaining virgin from the Count's bloodsucking exploits, and as usual director Morrissey finds ample opportunity to combine sex and gore with outrageous sensibility and logic of plot. As in the case of Flesh for Frankenstein, this Criterion Collection DVD restores the film to its original director's cut, presented in its original aspect ratio with a supplemental commentary by Morrissey, Kier, and critic Maurice Yacowar. Kier is particularly delightful, observing during one gruesome scene that 'vomiting looks great when you've got a tuxedo on.' --Jeff Shannon

Buyer Rating: - Worth staying up late for...
When l was a kid (about 15 years ago) l would be glued to USA every weekend hoping they would show Andy Warhol's Dracula or Frankenstein. Great movie.

Buyer Rating: - * The Funniest Dracula ever depicted ...
This Dracula must have virgin blood to stay alive, so where does he go, to a house where two of the four daughters have sex like rabbits. When he bites them, he gets incredibly sick. This Dracula isn't strong, but weak and all he does is complain. The way the father talks is funny. A must see for those with a warped sense of humor.

Buyer Rating: - And now for something completely different...
Different is what this movie is. l liked the movie for one, it dares to go off in directions the mainstream of film makers usually don't go. The second, l agreed with one reveiwer that you either like the film or you don't. The traditional Dracula plot is non-existent (He can only survive on the blood of virgins and for some reason there are none in his own home town). This movie is more of a parody and is fun to watch if you enjoy the unusual world of filmdom offerings. l would highly recomend this film in DVD format for the director commentaries and publicity stills included. Viewers should also be aware, this movie is not for the younger viewers, due to high explicit sexual content and nudity.
