“You are my affliction.” I was a bit conflicted as to how I should approach 2024’s Nosferatu. The film, directed by Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Northman), is a remake of F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, which was a ripoff of the original Dracula story by Bram Stoker. I really enjoyed Murnau’sContinue reading “Nosferatu (2024)”

Renfield (2023)
Relationship Therapy Nicholas Hoult heads up an excellent cast in 2023’s slightly bonkers Renfield. The film utilizes characters from Bram Stoker’s famed book, Dracula…….to a degree. Specifically, the film utilizes characters from Stoker’s book as portrayed by Dwight Frye and Bela Lugosi in 1931’s Dracula and expands upon their stories. Hoult takes on the titleContinue reading “Renfield (2023)”

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972)
“There is evil in the world. There are dark, awful things.” Hammer gets groovy with Dracula A.D. 1972. The film was Hammer’s attempt at modernizing the classic Dracula theme that the company did so well with in a Gothic setting. The updated version still featured the two masters of Hammer horror, Christopher Lee and PeterContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972)”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Taste The Blood Of Dracula (1970)
“They will be destroyed….” Of all of the Hammer Horror films that I’ve watched so far, 1970’s Taste The Blood Of Dracula is possibly the most straightforward one of the bunch. The film has a rather simple plot that takes place immediately after the events of Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. It wastes littleContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Taste The Blood Of Dracula (1970)”
