Scars of Dracula is an entertaining movie and as good fun as any Hammer film if taken in the right spirit.

…while other films diminished his screen-time and used him for silent jump scares, Scars of Dracula gives Christopher Lee plenty of scope to expand his interpretation, and it’s probably his last really good outing in his most famous role…

Christopher Lee is back on form when it comes to actually getting to act... a bit. Definitely one of the better offerings anyway, so long as you're in the right mood.

Decent entry in the Hammer Dracula series

The vampire bats in this film make it for me with their hilarious squeaking and flapping wings on strings. They set the tone for what I see as a tongue in cheek update on the theme, clearly low budget and clichéd but nonetheless entertaining. Gone are the victorian gentlemen of the past with their cut glass accents to be replaced by younger alpha males of lesser breeding who hop into bed with the girls and take on Dracula whenever they get the chance. Lots of lipstick red blood and synthetically grisly scenes but they somehow work. Definitely a period classic IMO despite the many negative reviews.
