Movie Reviews of The Return of Dracula/The Vampire

Movie Review: The sinister underside of small-town Americana!
Summary: 4 Stars

Here's a classic pair of tightly-wound American vampire thrillers with strong performances across the board, both from the writer of Hitchcock's SHADOW OF A DOUBT (with which both of these pictures share minor thematic tendencies) and sharing a sharp director in Paul Landres, a man who obviously knew how to make a low-budget really shine. In RETURN, an eastern European artist (the great Francis Lederer) is bitten by Dracula on his way to America, and breeds no small amount of suspicion among his small-town relatives, notably pretty young cousin Norma Eberhardt. Lots of neat little touches in this one. THE VAMPIRE is more of a Jekyll & Hyde tale about a small-town doctor (Paul Beal) who is given (by his own daughter!) an accidental dose of a test serum derived from Bat venom by a local scientist, which transforms him into a crazed killer. The hook is that he has no recollection of the murders he commits, so his doctorly concern for the victims is genuine. His dilemma worsens once he does the math, but his realistic, humanistic response to it is what lifts this above so many drive-in creature features of the day. I used to own RETURN OF DRACULA on VHS many years ago (when it was called CURSE OF DRACULA), but seeing it here with such clarity was a revelation and having THE VAMPIRE in the same set is just a big ol' spoonful of frosting.
