Horror Of Dracula. 1958.
Jonathan Harker takes up a job to cataloge books for a eccentric Count Dracula but has intentions to destroy him, when he fails his friend Professor Van Helsing seeks to finish Harker's mission.
The first of the hammer Horror series of Dracula With Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, right from the start there is narration John Van Eyssen who plays Harker and after being bitten we find out his intentions truly are. 30 minutes or so into the film Peter Cushing appears with Michael Gough who seem to have a battle of wits and form a unique bond and become Vampire Hunters. Christopher Lee doesn't really get much screen time but when he appears he excels in being charming at first then full blown scary.
The film has everything we like in horror, great acting, dark atmosphere, Gothic castle and perfect background score. The pace can be a bit slow but upto the climatic is is always great to watch and admiration on how the effects were back in the late 50s.
