The Return of the Vampire Reviews
Return of Bela Lugosi
In the 1940s, Bela Lugosi starred in a long string of bad poverty row movies. He always put all of his soul into a performance, and many (perhaps even most) of the movies would not have been worth watching if it weren't for him. "Return of the Vampire" is an exception; made around the same time he made some of his worst movies, this one is actually good.
Lugosi is wonderful as always, but here he's helped by good co-stars and an overall nice atmosphere. While "Return of the Vampire" my not be quite as good as some of his very best movies, it is a good movie, competently made and very enjoyable. This movie was a box office success and should have helped his carreer, but apparently it didn't. It's a pity he went back to making trash again afterwards.
call him what you will,we know it's really dracula
this chiller from 1943 is really columbia studios take on dracula,but because universal owned the rights to dracula the changed the name and made the movie anyway.
this chiller starts in the year 1918, a vampire is loose in london and a woman doctor and family are his targets. to add to the fun the vampire has a helper in the form of a werewolf who wears shoes and talks! anyway, the good doctor takes the fiend out and leaves him in his crypt.
flash forward to the 40's and german bombers free the count from his tomb and off he goes to get even. all this is silly,but great fun and bela is having the time of his life.
i really liked this film and was glad to find it on dvd.
