Attempts too much

Rating: 5/10 (4 May 2019)

This had a lot of talent behind the scenes and a great cast but the film is messy and incoherent. Sommers almost pulled off the similar style he perfected with The Mummys box office success, but the everything storyline is too much. I saw this on release and my annoyance hasn't changed. It hasn't grown into the cult film I predicted and the Dracula performance is so over the top it borders unwatchable. It's a guilty pleasure film and full of camp, a lot that does not work.
