Dracula Has Risen from the Grave

Set in Transylvania, this Hammer horror film follows the revival of Count Dracula. Blood from a head wound suffered by an unconscious priest, who had been attempting an exorcism, drips onto the vampire's remains and brings him back. The priest falls under Dracula's control, and the revived count turns his attention to the village of Keinenburg, where he sets his sights on a young woman. Her fiancé and her uncle, a monsignor, join forces to protect her and confront the vampire.

Freddie Francis directed the film, which sits between The Skull and Trog in his directing credits. Anthony Hinds wrote the screenplay, Aida Young produced, and Hammer Film Productions made it. Christopher Lee returns as Dracula, with Rupert Davies as Monsignor Ernst Mueller, Veronica Carlson as Maria Mueller, Barbara Ewing as Zena, Barry Andrews as Paul and Ewan Hooper as the village priest.

Released in November 1968 and running 92 minutes, the film holds a 6.5 rating on IMDb from around 9,100 votes and a 6.7 on TMDB from a much smaller sample. A critics' rating of 7 out of 10 from 16 reviews places it somewhat above the audience scores on IMDb, while the TMDB figure is close to that critical average.
