## Description

Classic horror starring Peter Cushing. A young teacher on her way to a position in Transylvania helps a young man escape the shackles his mother has put on him. In doing so she innocently unleashes the horrors of the undead once again on the populace, including those at her school for ladies. Luckily for some, Dr Van Helsing (Cushing) is already on his way. SPECIAL FEATURES Introduction to Brides of Dracula The Making of The Brides of Dracula Narrated by Edward de Souza and featuring interviews with Yvonne Monlaur, Jimmy Sangster, Hugh Harlow, Pauline Harlow, Don Mingaye, Margaret Robinson and Tony Hinds The Brides of Dracula Stills Gallery The Brides of Dracula Theatrical Trailer Top class Hammer movie. Peter Cushing's second outing as Van Helsing and David Peel's only vampire role. One of the most beautifully photographed movies ever - Jack Asher at his best and director Terence Fisher in top form. If the bat is a little clunky by modern effects standards, no worry for there is plenty to enjoy here. Great performances from Cushing and Peel, as mentioned, but also watch out for the acting duel between vetrans Freda Jackson and Martita Hunt; each gives a ripe performance and both are highly memorable. Other performances to look out for are from scene- stealing Miles Malleson as the hypochondriac Dr Tobler and Andree Melly who gave one of the 60's classic vampire images to the screen. Michael Ripper is also there for fans, this time as the scared coach driver. Cushing's authoratative Van Helsing carries the movie and David Peel's Baron Meinster is an excellent vampire foe - clipped Oxford English, red eyes and hissing vampire attacks. The burning windmill finale was lifted to conclude Tim Burton's SLEEPY HOLLOW which was a tribute to Hammer Films. Pure escapism - enjoy! --maxgol

Review: ANOTHER HAMMER CLASSIC - This classic HAMMER movie is down as being the follow up to DRACULA and even says his BRIDES in the title but has nothing to do with the first movie and even says on the poster THE MOST EVIL DRACULA OF ALL yet he is not called this in the movie.Besides all of that about the movie itself well what we have is a HAMMER classic with PETER CUSHING is back as DOCTOR VAN HELSING on top form great sets and a climax thats as good as the one in the first movie in fact TIM BURTON payed tribute to this in the climax of his movie SLEEPY HOLLOW.Now about the disc the picture is good as is the sound i have an 8ft wide picture and it looks great.Now for the extras we have THE MAKING OF BRIDES O F DRACULA also A STILLS GALLERY and a nice trailer for the movie.I have read one or two reviews of people saying stuff like the movie is not in the right aspect ratio etc but if it is or not it is not that important if you are watching this movie on a tv as you are not watching the movie how it was made to be seen anyway these movies were made for the big screen and to see them the way they were made you have to see them this way.iT Is so so sad that people can now only review these great classic movies by what they see on there tv and not see there full impact on the big screen Anyway love this disc and movie so if you are a HAMMER fan buy it
Review: Only God has no fear... - Hammer's The Brides of Dracula (1960) was the first sequel their 1958 classic Horror of Dracula, and again stars Peter Cushing as ace vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing. Christopher Lee's Count Dracula is absent this time, for reasons nobody has ever really confirmed; depending on which rumours you believe, he asked for too much money, turned the film down to avoid typecasting, or might not have been asked to appear at all. However, Lee isn't really missed in a movie that instead features the little-known actor David Peel as Baron Meinster, a blood-sucking mummy's boy with a taste for farm girls and French schoolteachers... One of the few Hammer horror movies to divide the opinion of fans, The Brides of Dracula has in its favour some really magnificent set designs, great photography, an unusual score from Malcolm Williamson, and top-notch performances from Cushing, Peel, and veteran actresses Martita Hunt and Freda Jackson. However, many commentators (amongst them one of the credited screenwriters, Jimmy Sangster) have drawn attention to the film's choppy narrative and various plot inconsistencies and contrivances, and the somewhat weak performance of the female lead, Yvonne Monlaur. Those criticisms do hold water, but they are scarcely noticeable once you are actually watching the movie; this is a dream-like, gothic fairytale, and one of director Terence Fisher's very best films.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Masterpiece!!
*by V***R on 22 October 2007*

This was the first Hammer film I ever saw. I'd been trying to find it on DVD for ages after seeing it on numerous occasions on Sky and well worth the wait!! This is British cinema at it's creepiest and atmospheric, an absolute masterpiece with a fantastic pace. It's all too easy in this day and age to be cynical and laugh at these films but it says something when nearly 50 years on this film is given the recognition it deserves and is finally released to buy. If you love vintage old horror films, it really doesn't get much better than this. All the characters are great but one man has to be singled out and that is the legend which is Peter Cushing, one of this country's greatest actors, as the formiddable Van Helsing. As another reviewer quoted, 'Who is it who is not afraid?' , 'Only God has no fear!' Genius!!
