THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA (1973)


 This is the 8th Dracula movie in the Hammer studios series and while I'm generally more of a fan of the classic Universal monster flicks this one at least gives us some Satan stuff which includes naked gals being sacrificed to Beelzebub and some sexy chained-up vampire chicks to spice things up.  Dracula in this one decides to bring back the plague and wipe out humanity.  I'm not exactly sure what this accomplishes but it does seem pretty evil.  It was the last film with the classic pairing of Christopher Lee as Drac and Peter Cushing as Van Helsing and while they do a good enough job it also has a lot of boring stretches and a pretty uneventful ending involving Dracula fighting a thorn bush.  I think I agree with the general consensus that this is skip-able unless you're a big Hammer films fanatic.  Released in America as COUNT DRACULA AND HIS VAMPIRE BRIDE
