Summary: "The blood of these whoooo-wahs is keeeling me!"
Comment: 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).

Summary: A terrific terrible
Comment: 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.

Summary: Dracula in a wheelchair?
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful, comedic version of the Dracula films.
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Campy Horror Film Falls Flat
Comment: 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.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Paul Morrissey's brash mixture of humor, horror and sex is a bitingly funny satire of modern values--and a revelation to fans of the horror film. In "Blood for Dracula," the infamous count searches Italy for "pure" blood. Criterion presents the long-suppressed director's cut of this outrageous cult classic. "Presented" by Andy Warhol.
