Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Smoreni Zmaj First of all, title is misleading, because this movie has nothing to do with Dracula or his blood. Tagline is also bullshit: "In her eyes...desire! In her veins... the blood of a monster!" This has nothing to do with this movie either. Movie starts slow and promising. Teenage girl loses her mother. Father wants to remarry, so he sends her to boarding school. One of her teachers uses ancient amulet from Carpathians to hypnotize her into the vampire. She starts to kill her roommates and police is helpless. Her old boyfriend reads about it in the papers and comes to boarding school to find her and save her. Pretty nice plot, isn't it?! But, after an hour of movie, when it came to speed and became interesting, when you expect at least half an hour more of some action, mystery, suspense, or at least romance or comedy, or any kind of culmination and then denouement, you get one minute of lousy ending scene instead.It's like someone cut the movie in half and then just added last minute to first half. Girl attacks her teacher and they both die out of nowhere. The end. Real motive why did teacher did all this is unclear, and everything in the movie stays undetermined and incomplete. Movie had potential to grow and become something memorable, but instead it was cut in half and ruined.4/10

Ben Larson There were flashes, albeit brief, of good acting in this drive-in special.Sandra Harrison played a troubled teen dumped in a boarding school by her father. Her resentment was tapped by the science teacher (Louise Lewis) who was bitter towards the men who ruled her profession.She decried experimentation into atomic energy as means to war and unrest, and proclaimed her efforts to tap an inner energy as the formula for peace in the world. That inner energy was a vampire. Now, we don't often see female vampires (Queen of the Damned and Let Me In are two that come to mind.). Being 1957, we, of course, are spared the blood and gore - kinda like a Twilight film, but no sparkles.It was an interesting film for those who like to explore drive-in classics, but not much for anyone else.

trashgang I found this movie at a sale for just almost no money. That's the reason I bought it because I'm really not into the fifties. I can dig the old ones and the universal classic horrors but the fifties and also the sixties were a big let down for me. Why, because nothing really happens and if things happen it's all done off camera. The storyline is good in this flick but there are things that happen that make you want to push the fast forward button, for example, the scene were one of the guys start singing and that the whole song. The only good thing is the transformation from normal person to a vampire. Still, the vampire looks silly and really has to go to a dentist. When the vampire attacks it's all done off screen, no blood flows, no marks in the neck are shown. Glad that I have seen another flick from the fifties to confirm my statement...

Michael_Elliott Blood of Dracula (1957) ** 1/2 (out of 4) A troubled teen (Sandra Harrison) goes to a boarding school where a teacher starts doing experiments on her. The teacher puts Nancy under hypnosis and soon murders begin to occur. Too bad this film wasn't called I Was a Teenage Vampire to fit in with the others but other than that this movie isn't too bad. This film tries to fill the need of teen juvenile films as well as the horror genre and in that respect the film manages to be entertaining. The look of the vampire is quite good and there's some funny dialogue throughout the movie. The film's pacing is a tad bit all over the place and this here keeps it from being better. The movie certainly doesn't try to be anything special but it does manage to be an effective drive-in flick.
