VHS Movie Reviews of Andy Warhol's Dracula
Movie Review: "The blood of these whoooo-wahs is keeeling me!"
Summary: 4 Stars
Campy seriousness or seriously camp? Who cares?!? Udo Kier's hypnotically unintelligible accent is beyond belief. Hell, ALL the accents are beyond belief. Ditto the bloody vampiric feeding scenes. If you're a fan of the cultish and the weird, treat yourself -- you've not seen anything like this before (unless you already HAVE seen it, of course).Movie Review: A terrific terrible
Summary: 5 Stars
When I saw Warhols Frankenstein in the origianl 3-D (Still have the glasses) at the age of 15, snuck in. I was blown away. And now Blood For Dracula. This one is great too but in a suttle way. I was struck at how such an inexpensive film($340,000)could look and sound so good. The first thing I noticed was the great musical score, just loved it. And of course the photography was rich and handsome too. I knew this was a super cheesey film and boy was it great. If you know what you are getting into for 100 or so minutes then you will be delighted. But it is the accents that rule in this movie. Man I love this film. As a companion piece to Frankenstein it is grand. Great gore, soft core sex scenes and lots of butchered english dialogue make this one a keeper. Movie Review: Dracula in a wheelchair?
Summary: 1 Stars
Ever see Dracula in a wheelchair. How pathetic this variation is. This guy could have done better in Laurel and Hardy . . . or better yet, a fourth stooge. Movie Review: Wonderful, comedic version of the Dracula films.
Summary: 5 Stars
Andy Warhol produced this film. It stars Joe Dallesandro and Udo Kier, as Dracula ("Blade," "Private Idaho" and "Flesh for Frankenstein). It has been restored to a pristine print. It was originally filmed in 3-D and you will see things coming towards the front of the screen. In the theatres they looked like they were coming into the audience. Made to be scary and gory, it is often true camp and a film all movie goers should enjoy.Movie Review: Campy Horror Film Falls Flat
Summary: 2 Stars
Even though originally titled, "Andy Warhol's Dracula", this film had very little to do with Andy Warhol. Udo Kier plays a count visitng Italy to satisfy his "special diet", i.e. "virgin blood." Though the royal family's daughters seem promising, Joe Dellesandro (who uses the Andy Warhol style of "non acting")is busy making them ineligible for the Count's requirements. The count's reaction to non virgin blood (in repeat scenes) has to be among the grossest scenes in film, next to the end of Pink Flamingos. Other than that, the movie wanders, the dialogue is dull, the political conflicts unnecesary (remember this was the 70's) and parts of it are closer to soft core porn or badly acted costume drama than horror. Though not as amazingly awful as "Sins of the Fleshapoids" or Ed Wood (who has a certain charm) Blood for Dracula will leave you scratching your head one moment and then turning it away from the screen the next.
Summary of Andy Warhol's Dracula
Filming on Blood for Dracula began on location in Italy on the same day that filming of Flesh for Frankenstein ended, and knowing this enhances one's appreciation of director Paul Morrissey's delightfully twisted--and defiantly artistic--approach to violent, campy horror. Originally titled Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and Andy Warhol's Dracula, both films are blessed by Morrissey's opulent visual style (he and his Italian cinematographer worked wonders with modest budgets), and both showcase Udo Kier and the languorous hunk Joe Dallesandro in opposing roles. Here we find Udo Kier as Count Dracula, looking even more ashen than usual and desperate for the blood of virgins to restore his waning health. He travels to Italy and stays at the fading estate of a once-wealthy family, and the presence of four lovely, sexually inexperienced daughters turns out to be a recipe for disaster. It so happens that only the youngest daughter is actually a virgin, and by process of elimination Dracula discovers that non-virgin blood makes him violently ill! Dallesandro plays the resident handyman--handy in more ways than one, as the daughters have learned--who dares to protect the remaining virgin from the Count's bloodsucking exploits, and as usual director Morrissey finds ample opportunity to combine sex and gore with outrageous sensibility and logic of plot. As in the case of Flesh for Frankenstein, this Criterion Collection DVD restores the film to its original director's cut, presented in its original aspect ratio with a supplemental commentary by Morrissey, Kier, and critic Maurice Yacowar. Kier is particularly delightful, observing during one gruesome scene that "vomiting looks great when you've got a tuxedo on." --Jeff ShannonHorror Video
