User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Buyer, beware! Not the collectible version.
Be advised that the version of "Scars Of Dracula" that Amazon is currently selling is an expurgated release that misleads the customer with its cover art. This has a single disc and the featured film only, and the other with 2 amazing music videos and the "Faces Of Christopher Lee" documentary that formerly made this an attractive collectible has been removed, in spite of what the cover blurb still claims. The lobby card art is also missing inside, so buyer, beware. "Scars Of Dracula" isn't bad as a latter entry in the Lee Dracula canon. It's spoiled slightly, though, by jarringly fake and excessive gore, with regrettably gratuitous sadism. Christopher Lee felt similarly, as on-screen option commentary attests. My rating here's for the chopped-up reissue.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - OBSESSED
AFTER BELA LUGOSI THEN THERE WAS CHRISTOPHER LEE. 2 MAJOR BLOOD SUCKERS. SCARS OF DRACULA IS ONE OF THE BEST. LOVE THE SCENE WHEN HE WENT OFF ON HIS VAMPIRE COMPANION FOR GETTING READY TO EAT HIS SNACK. THEY DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - "Scars of Dracula" Is The Most Gory, Violent Installment In Hammer's Dracula Series
The fans and critics are correct, "Scars of Dracula" is a departure from Hammer Production's Dracula series. It is definitely gorier and more violent than the others as though targeted for younger audiences who were craving more gore and violence in the early seventies. In "Scars of Dracula," Dracula appears more evil and diabolical. His violent outbursts are quite shocking. Perhaps he hasn't been getting enough sleep. That would explain the bloodshot eyes. Furthermore, Dracula always had a sense of class and breeding; in this film, he's a veritable brute.

I enjoyed "Scars of Dracula." Though I don't consider myself a gore hound, I do love a high body count. This movie promised an extremely high one but I was disappointed. It begins with a bang: The mass spilling of innocent blood inside a church (quite blasphemous and daring for 1970). However, the pace slows down and never quite picks up. The ending itself wasn't anything spectacular or memorable. However, I'll never forget when Dracula loses his temper and repeatedly stabs his vampire girlfriend with a knife.

As always, horror legend Christopher Lee has great stage presence. His performance as Dracula is still superb despite character alterations. Unlike, "Dracula: Prince of Darkness," he actually speaks instead of only appearing sinister. I was thankful for this. I am very fond of Lee's deep, manly voice. It sounds both charming and villainous at the same time. You must add "Scars of Dracula" to your Christopher Lee Dracula series from Hammer Production. In fact, it is highly recommended for all fans of Lee.

Note of Interest: I ordered "Scars of Dracula" new from Amazon.com. The jewel case did not have the bonus DVD as advertised on the cover. Nor did it have the customary movie poster. I was very disappointed that Anchor Bay failed to include these items in my purchase.





Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - GET YOUR DRACULA FIX WITH THIS SHOT IN THE NECK
LOTS OF FUN TO VIEW THIS ENJOYABLE FILM. GOOD STORY PLOT, GOOD CHARACTERS, NOT AS PREDICTABLE A PLOT AS ONE WOULD EXPECT. LEE IS MUCH BETTER HERE THAN ON SOME OTHER HAMMER DRAC FILMS. THE FAKE VAMPIRE BAT, WITH THAT HIGH PITCHED SQUEELING AND SQEAKING SOUNDS AND SOMETIMES DROOLING BLOOD FROM IT'S MOUTH, WERE WORTH MANY LAUGHS BECAUSE THE HIGH CAMP FEEL TO THOSE PUPPET VAMPIRE BATS DANGLING FROM STRINGS MADE ME BURST OUT LAUGHING AND THEN, EDITED IN BETWEEN THOSE VAMPIRE BAT CAMERA SHOTS WERE THE MORE SERIOUS ACTORS, DOING STRIAGHT SCENES. SCARS OF DRACULA SHOULD BE IN YOUR DVD HORROR COLLECTION.REALLY.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - SCARS OF DRACULA IS A GOOD FILM!!!
After reading most of the reviews I thought that I was just going to recieve an awful movie, but I'm surprised that yet . . . IT ACTAULLY TURNED OUT TO BE GOOD! So what if it had flaws, Hammer films were made on tight budgets and were all made in lightning speeds, so they didnt have time to fix everything. Anyway, I like this movie for five reasons.

1. The widescreen print is beautiful

2. Very good acting, yet Dracula talked a bit much

3. The actresses are pretty hot.

4. Cheap, but decent sets

5. Funny, Memorable Charachters.

Really, I dont know about you people that said it's a bad movie; if you don't like it, then don't go around commenting negative things about it so the people that actually want to buy this flick won't chnage their minds.
