Director
Terence Fisher
Certificate
12A

82 mins

The recently restored BFI print of Terence Fisher‘s1958  Hammer classic, starring the dream team of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Arguably the best screen Drac, it was also the first to be filmed in glorious Technicolor, giving us some lovely shades of crimson. Incredibly enough, this had sensitive critics recoiling in distaste back in the repressed ’50s.

It’s back on screen in spooky ol’ Redcliffe Caves as part of this year’s Horror in the Caves Halloween warm-up weekend, courtesy of Bristol Film Festival. Go here for ticket details.
