Dracula A.D. 1972
Dracula A.D. 1972 is a 1972 horror film, directed by Alan Gibson and produced by Hammer Film Productions.
It was written by Don Houghton and stars Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Stephanie Beacham.
Unlike earlier films in Hammer's Dracula series," Dracula A.D. 1972" had( at the time of filming) a contemporary setting, in an attempt to update the" Dracula" story for modern audiences.
Dracula is brought back to life in modern London and preys on a group of young partygoers that includes the descendant of his nemesis, Van Helsing.
It is the seventh Hammer film featuring Dracula, and the sixth to star Christopher Lee in the title role.
It also marked the return of Peter Cushing as Van Helsing for the first time since" The Brides of Dracula"( 1960), and was the first to feature both Lee and Cushing in their respective roles since" Dracula"( 1958).
It was followed by the last film in Hammer's Dracula series to star Christopher Lee," The Satanic Rites of Dracula", which similarly utilized a modern setting and featured most of the same central characters.
Scars of Dracula
Scars of Dracula is a 1970 British horror film directed by Roy Ward Baker for Hammer Films.
It stars Christopher Lee as Count Dracula, along with Dennis Waterman, Jenny Hanley, Patrick Troughton, and Michael Gwynn.
Although disparaged by some critics, the film does restore a few elements of Bram Stoker's original character: the Count is introduced as an" icily charming host;" he has command over nature; and he is seen scaling the walls of his castle.
It also gives Lee more to do and say than any other Hammer Dracula film except its first, 1958's" Dracula".
This film breaks the continuity maintained through the previous entries in the Hammer Dracula series: whereas at the end of the preceding film," Taste the Blood of Dracula", the Count met his end in a disused church near London, this film opens with a resurrection scene set in Dracula's castle in Transylvania, with no explanation of how his ashes got there( although, they might have been returned from England, as a contingency, by the young acolyte from the prologue of" Dracula A.D. 1972").
Furthermore; in" Scars of Dracula", the Count has a servant named Klove, played by Patrick Troughton; in the third film of the series,, Dracula has a servant named Klove( played by Philip Latham) who appears to a different character, though identically named.
The disruption of continuity caused by" Scars of Dracula" reflects the fact the film was originally tooled as a possible reboot of the series in the event Christopher Lee elected not to reprise the role of Dracula.
The British Film group EMI took over distribution of the film after Warner Bros. and other American studios refused to distribute it in the U.S.
It was also the first of several Hammer films to get an' R' rating.
The Brides of Sodom
The Brides of Sodom is an American horror film that was written and directed by Creep Creepersin.

Terence Fisher
Terence Fisher( 23 February 1904 – 18 June 1980) was a British film director best known for his work for Hammer Films.
He was the first to bring gothic horror alive in full colour, and the sexual overtones and explicit horror in his films, while mild by modern standards, were unprecedented in his day.
His first major gothic horror film was" The Curse of Frankenstein"( 1957), which launched Hammer's association with the genre and made British actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee leading horror stars of the era.
He went on to film several adaptations of classic horror subjects, including" Dracula"( 1958)," The Mummy"( 1959), and" The Curse of the Werewolf"( 1961).
Given their subject matter and lurid approach, Fisher's films, though commercially successful, were largely dismissed by critics during his career.
It is only in recent years that Fisher has become recognised as an" auteur" in his own right.
His most famous films are characterised by a blend of fairytale myth and the supernatural alongside themes of sexuality, morality, and ‘ the charm of evil ’.
Drawing heavily on a Christian conservative outlook, there is often a hero who defeats the powers of darkness by a combination of faith in God and reason, in contrast to other characters, who are either blindly superstitious or bound by cold, godless rationalism.
For detailed discussions of Fisher's work, see" Terence Fisher: Horror, Myth, and Religion" by Paul Leggett( McFarland and Co, 2002)," British Film Makers: Terence Fisher" by Peter Hutchings( Manchester University Press, 2013), and" The Films of Terence Fisher: Hammer Horror and Beyond" by Wheeler Winston Dixon( Auteur Publishing, 2017).
