Good review! They certainly don't make films quite like this anymore. I agree with much of what you said. Perhaps Christopher Lee would've been better in Peel's role, but I don't think Lee wanted to do another Dracula film at that time as he didn't want to be typecast.. though several years later he went on to make some more Dracula films anyway. (Interesting that Brides of Dracula doesn't actually seem to feature Dracula himself).
