Deathly ill Count Dracula (Udo Kier) and his slimy underling, Anton (Arno Juerging), travel to Italy in search of a virgin's blood. They're welcomed at the crumbling estate of indebted Marchese Di Fiore (Vittorio De Sica), who's desperate to marry off his daughters to rich suitors. But there, instead of pure women, the count encounters incestuous lesbians with vile blood and Marxist manservant Mario (Joe Dallesandro), who's suspicious of the aristocratic Dracula.

2/5

The film has that trademark combination of high artistic ambition and crude pornographic content, sometimes charming or amusing, sometimes repellent.

Not quite as much fun as Frankenstein, but wonderful to look at, with some great jokes - including the myriad of accents displayed by members of the cast. However, as fun as it is at times, it can't compare with Bela Lugosi.
