    An effective and atmospheric chiller.

    I first saw this film when it was originally released in 1958 and it literally scared the hell out of me. Once I got significantly older and happened to see it available on video, I purchased it for old times sake. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had lost not one iota of it's power! The casting of the suave Francis Lederer in the title role was a master stroke. It indeed does bring back memories of the superb "Shadow of a Doubt". Although a low budget entry, it still causes uneasiness to its viewers. Gerald Fried's eerie score is a plus too. It was largely overshadowed in 1958 by the "Horror of Dracula" (also a fine film as any Draculaphile would agree) but it deserves to be recognized as the fine chiller it is. i heartily recommend it to any fan of good thrillers.

    Good little movie with a great lead.

    Count Dracula (Francis Lederer) flees the forces of vampire hunter Meierman (John Wengraf), a modern day Van Helsing, and murders a local named Bellac (Norbert Schiller) who's headed for America to visit his cousins, assuming the other mans' identity. The American branch of the family is a little perplexed by his odd behaviour, but not enough to actively question it until Meierman turns up determined to finish what he started.

    "The Return of Dracula" was another collaboration for screenwriter Pat Fielder and director Paul Landres, who'd previously done another genre film, "The Vampire". As such, it's basically a routine B movie, but not badly done at all. In fact, Landres and crew do give this movie a respectable amount of atmosphere; the scenes with Dracula are always the best. The sharp featured Lederer is a fine choice for the role, as he has an undeniable intensity and presence. The opening credits sequence is nice and creepy as it plays out over a shot of the Count where only his eyes are lit. Anytime the Count is out to seduce his "cousin" Rachel (beautiful Norma Eberhardt), or her pretty, appealing friend Jennie (Virginia Vincent), or emerging from his coffin, the movie is fun in the true old school tradition, with a music score by Gerald Fried that uses the classic "Dies Irae" theme. The cave is a fine location, where Dracula can put his coffin, and in which to stage the climax. It's always cool when the camera pans to show Dracula is present in a scene, although the filmmakers would have done better to refrain from obvious musical stings when this happens.

    The capable acting from the supporting cast helps, with Wengraf an earnest vampire hunter, Greta Granstedt as Rachels' unknowing mother Cora, Ray Stricklyn as Rachels' would be boyfriend Tim, Gage Clarke as the Reverend Doctor Whitfield, Robert Lynn as Dr. Paul Beecher, and Charles Tannen as Bryant, the man from Immigration.

    One of the best overall elements to enjoy in "The Return of Dracula" is that for a movie almost entirely shot in black & white, the brief burst of red when blood seeps out of a staked victim is a real visual treat. It's an effectively tight and trim little movie with an amusing, somewhat unpredictable ending, and is worth a look.

    Seven out of 10.

    "I have come to bring you Death."

    Posing as a foreign relative, Count Dracula moves to an idyllic 1950s American town to look for a fresh batch of victims. Other than the odd hours he tends to keep, the family he's moved in with doesn't suspect anything out of the ordinary. They explain away his eccentricities to either being tired or his European heritage. But a couple of unusual deaths in the small town catch the eye and attention of an investigator hot on Dracula's trail. Can he track down Dracula before anyone else dies?

    I've got to agree with several of the other comments on IMDb - The Return of Dracula is one spooky and fun little movie. It's also a real under-seen gem from the 50s that deserves a much wider audience. The movie's got a lot more atmosphere going for it than most of the other, cheaply made, b-type films of the period. Francis Lederer is suave and creepy enough to pull off the role of Bellac Gordal aka Dracula. There were at least two instances where I nearly jumped out of my skin as the camera panned to find Lederer. The score is another contributing factor to the eeriness of the movie. It hits all the right notes (pun intended). But my favorite moment in The Return of Dracula has to be the staking scene. It may go by quickly, but it's awesome. I won't spoil for those who haven't seen it, so I'll just say that it's one of those unexpected moments that make discovering these oddball 50s movies such a blast.

    Dracula Leading the Blind

    Not a bad Dracula updated adaptation as a man readying for a journey in Romania is killed and his identity stolen(seems to have been a problem even then). He moves in with his "family' only to start wreaking havoc in a small Californian town. The small town atmosphere is carried off fairly nicely in large part to the small town characterizations from the cast - most of whom were either character actors or unknowns at the time. Exception is Francis Lederer as the vampire with a very thick accent, but actually he gives some credibility to the role of the brooding, oft charming, malignant force cast into the lives of these newly found innocents. John Wengraf plays the Van Helsing type and is interesting when on screen yet the part is way too underdeveloped. There is not much for plot here to be honest and the story quickly wraps up in the last third, but director Paul Landres has competence(and a whole television episode list as his resume)and creates some effective scenes. The scene where Rachel is "dreaming" of seeing the vampire in her boudoir and then is wakened quickly by her brother even gave me a bit of a jolt. The acting is okay but pedestrian, and there is not much here in terms of great sets or effects. Nonetheless The Return of Dracula is a nice little film with a different twist to Dracula lore that I found interestingly conceived.

    Francis Lederer This Time.

    Paul Landres directed this better-than-expected updating of the Dracula legend. Francis Lederer(quite good) plays Count Dracula, who flees his native land when vampire-hunters threaten him. He kills a Czech artist on a train, and assumes his identity as "Cousin Bellac", who visits the man's family in America, where he stays. Young Rachel Mayberry(played by Norma Eberhardt) becomes infatuated with her "cousin", who is both suave and mysterious, which makes her boyfriend jealous. Meanwhile, Dracula proceeds to seduce a local blind girl named Jenny, with tragic consequences, which climaxes with a pursuit in a spooky cave... Good horror tale cleverly uses the premise of "Shadow Of A Doubt" to fine effect, resulting in an atmospheric Halloween-setting, with a good score. Not a classic, but better than the title would suggest.

    Trivia note: Lederer would "return" as Dracula in a fine episode of the "Night Gallery" TV series called 'The Devil Is Not Mocked'.

      Ray Stricklyn noted in his autobiography "Angels & Demons" that co-star Norma Eberhardt had one blue eye and one brown eye. If you look carefully at a few of her close-ups, even in this black-and-white film, you can notice the difference.

      When Count Dracula enters Rachel's bedroom the first night as she sleeps, he tells her to remove her cross, and she pulls it off, breaking the chain. But the next morning, when picking it up off the floor where it fell, the chain is one continuous, latched loop.
    • Citazioni

      [first lines]

      narrator: It is a known fact that there existed in Central Europe a Count Dracula. Though human in appearance and cultured in manner, he was in truth a thing undead... a force of evil... a vampire. Feeding on the blood of innocent people, he turned them into his own kind, thus spreading his evil dominion ever wider. The attempts to find and destroy this evil were never proven fully successful, and so the search continues to this very day.
