VHS Movie Reviews of Dracula's Daughter [VHS]
Movie Review: "You know, this is the first woman's flat I've been in that didn't have at least 20 mirrors in it..."
Summary: 4 Stars
Picking up the story literally moments after the events of the first "Dracula" starring Bela Lugosi, DRACULA'S DAUGHTER (1936) has always held a fascination, largely thanks to Gloria Holden's nuanced performance in the title role.
Countess Marya Zaleska (Holden) is a beautiful member of the aristocracy with a dangerous secret; fits of uncontrollable bloodlust and the need to stalk and kill pretty young girls...not to mention a biological link to the old Count you-know-who. The sexual ambiguity of the Countess adds lots of dark layers in this moodily-lit horror favourite. The performances are very strong, particularly Otto Kruger, Marguerite Churchill and Irving Pichel as the Countess' menacing servant. Gloria Holden's subtle performance in the title role is a marvel to witness.
Recommended.
Summary of Dracula's Daughter [VHS]
This cut-rate sequel to Dracula, sans Bela Lugosi, turns out to be an unexpectedly sleek and stylish movie. Gloria Holden, tall, dark, and continental, is the aristocratic title character fighting her nature and seeking a cure for her affliction. A sympathetic psychiatrist, Dr.?Garth (Otto Kruger), encourages her to "face her fears," but when she lures a pretty young streetwalker to her room to model for a painting, the temptation of her fleshy offering proves too much to overcome. Edward Van Sloan reprises his role as Van Helsing, held by the police for the murder of Count Dracula (the film opens on the final scene from Dracula) but released in the nick of time to help Garth, now at the mercy of the bitter and vindictive vampire. Director Lambert Hillyer makes the most of his low budget, with austere, angular sets and an almost abstract sense of the foggy city night. Holden's mysterious face and tall, willowy body make her an even more striking vampire than Lugosi, and Irving Pichel's offbeat servant is like an American gangster with the breeding of a European aristocrat: thick and thuggish, but always proper. The script falls into the usual rut of Universal's later horror films, losing the mood in the busy plot, but the smooth style and Holden's dignified performance lift this above most Universal sequels. --Sean AxmakerHorror VHS Video
