If there is one reason and one reason only to see this movie, or in this case, one name and one name only, it is Kathy Shower! I love Kathy Shower, she is so beautiful! However I feel she deserves a few better screen credits than this, this is not a bad way to go. She plays the stunt of a drunken actress who can't finish the film herself, and soon finds herself falling in love with the Studio's Executive. I must advise those of you who think like me, if you intent to buy this treasure, get the unrated version, at the beginning of the film Kathy Shower gets out of the shower naked, and in the R-Rated version she covers herself with a towel. That and many other reasons. Tally Chanel is also hot, but it is Kathy Shower that makes this film so great!

Just 27 years after the release of the classic Bela Lugosi, Dracula (1931), Horror of Dracula is released and revamps the success of the Vampire story to even greater fame. This is by far the most exciting, most erotic, most thrilling adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic by far. Never before has any Dracula film combined the perfect elements of what is required for a film of this sort. Superb acting, just the right sets and equipment, handsome production design, and James Bernard's bone-chilling music score. It should be a sacrilege for any true-blooded Horror film buff like me to miss this one. The final confrontation between Count Dracula and Professor Van Helsing is still guaranteed to have you at the edge of your seat.

In his efforts to make a faithful screen adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel, Kenneth Branagh seems more fit to outdo most of the gore effects Horror flicks of the 60's introduced to us. Granted, the film always keeps you entertained and never bored, but some details along the way just spoil it. First of all, I don't remember Frankenstein's monster being bald. Secondly, Roger Pratt's photography seems like it was tied to a merry-go-round all the way through the film. Third, the film score mixed with the frenetic camerawork and performances give the film an unusual feel. Despite that, the film is blessed with fine, if not sane, performances by both leads, De Niro as the Creature, and Branagh as Dr. F. The film is very well done, but as if progresses something just seems to be missing.
