Dracula (The Dirty Old Man)

Dracula (The Dirty Old Man ) (1969)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

Count Alucard (Vince Kelley) is a pervert and needs a supply of young naked women so he turns a man (Billy Whitton) into a werewolf who goes out and gets them. The werewolf brings the women back to Alucard who chains them up in his basement, rips their clothes off and has a good time.

This sexploitation movie is far from being awful but at the same time it could have been much, much better with a little more effort. Dracula THE DIRTY OLD MAN is pretty much a reason for people in 1969 to throw down a buck and see naked women and there's no doubt that there are plenty of naked young woman on display. If that's what you're into then you're going to see countless breasts, butts and other regions of the female body. If you're looking for plot..... Well, this isn't going to be the movie for you.

There are some hilarious moments scattered throughout the film, although not all of them are intentional. The film was shot silent and it's clear that they wanted this to be a "comedy" about a perverted vampire and werewolf. The voice-over dialogue has a few funny moments throughout including one about Dracula's mother bat. Most of the comedy is unintentional including the hilarious werewolf costume, which is pretty much just a mask and at times you can see it coming off of the actors head. This really puts you in an Ed Wood frame of mind and especially the film he wrote ORGY OF THE DEAD.

The biggest problem with the film is that nothing really happens in the 69-minutes. We get the same thing repeated over and over and over and over. The werewolf kidnaps a woman. She is chained up. Her clothes are taken off. Next woman. A little more thought could have made for a much better movie but fans of sexploitation will still want to watch this at least once.

I have seen a lot of "sexy shockers", but this one is definitely the top of the line (for a pretty low line). Using a badly dubbed fake jewish accent (no wonder Dracula was afraid of the cross--he's a Jew!), and special effects that are entirely quick cuts, he turns a playboy newspaper reporter into "Wolf Man"--and what a wolf he is! He kidnaps sweet, mostly young things for his "master" and what dracula doesn't molest, "Wolf Man" rapes himself(girls are nude, guys mostly keep their clothes on)! For 1969, the girls in this movie appear to be in pretty good shape and most of it appears to be natural.

This movie is a "must own" for fans of this genre!

A very low-budget and silly '60s sexploitation flick in which every character has been badly dubbed in-studio with corny comedy dialogue, Dracula (The Dirty Old Man) somehow manages to make frequent female nudity and soft-core sex boring.

Repetition is the order of the day, the film opening with a baffling voice-over that repeats the phrases 'beautiful hill' and 'blue mountain' more times than anyone could ever care to hear. The film then proceeds to repeat the same supposedly sexy formula over and over, with Alucard/Dracula (Vince Kelley, alternating between a Jewish accent and Transylvanian) stripping each girl brought to him by his assistant Irving Jackal-man (Billy Whitton), tying them up, fondling their body, and biting them on the breast.

I guess this wouldn't have been too bad had all of the women in the film been absolute scorchers, but only two of the ladies are certifiably hot - the stranded motorist (Rebecca Reynolds) and Susan (Adarainne) - and only the latter gets her kit off.

The action occasionally strays into iffy territory with Jackal-man raping two of his victims (continuing to hump away even after one has died), but the majority of the film is pure 'meh!': badly shot, poorly edited, with lousy 'special effects' (including a fake bat on a stick), and a mundane jazzy lounge muzak soundtrack.

Seven years ago, I stumbled onto a dvd called 'Monsters Crash the Pajama Party Spook Show Spectacular' and it's filled with fun spooky goodies. One thing they have is a short clip of a man going to a drive-in theater with his date. He leaves and goes to the concession stand. When he comes out, he randomly transforms into a werewolf and looks like he's kidnapping his date and takes her off somewhere. It wasn't until recently that I learned that scene was apart of this movie, so I wanted to watch it. It is filled with sleaze, trash, naked women, Dracula and the werewolf basically tying these poor girls up and having their sexual way with them, that's basically the whole plot.

Dracula is awakened in a cave and stumbles across a reporter named Mike Waters. He turns Mike into a werewolf so he'll bring Dracula women to feed on and have his way with. This happens 4 or 5 times. This movie is basically a silly cheesy stupid porno. The dialog is over-dubbed and it's hilariously bad. Dracula himself is hilarious to look at and just randomly talks nonsense to himself. It has a great 1960's grindhouse feel to it. I feel like I'm gonna have a love/hate relationship with this movie. It's 'The Room' of vampire movies. If you love sleazy grindhouse flicks, you might enjoy DRACULA, THE DIRTY OLD MAN)!!!

The first 20 or so minutes of this film are really hilarious. REALLY funny. The dialogue and overdubbing are so beautiful. This is the best example of bad dubbing I have ever seen. Who knows, maybe they were doing it on purpose. Either way, the words they chose to use as the script are almost like they didn't know the original story and were making it up as it went along. Telling jokes the whole time and making funny comments about everything that you wouldn't normally hear a character in a movie say. They cut on each other and talk about how they have to go to the bathroom and juvenile things like that. I doubt it translated much at all from the original.

After the funny parts at the beginning (like the opening monologue about the blue mountains), the movie goes downhill and becomes monotonous. It's like soft core. But it's sort of rude! Dracula gets these women naked and then insults them because they have small breasts or are too heavy or something. Usually you have a naked woman on the screen and everyone is excited. But Dracula is very snooty and picky! It's sort of funny, but also sort of mean. Especially since I don't think he was supposed to say those things originally.

A funny movie because of the new script. The best parts are at the beginning. The wolf man is very well done. Dracula is kind of sexy. The naked woman are too much for me. Funny then porny.
