jacobjohntaylor1 This is a Dracula sequel and it is very scary. If this film does not scary you know movie will. This movie has great acting. It also has a great story line. It also has great special effects. It also has great acting. It very scary. If you get a come a cross it see it. It is very scary. Britt Nichols is a great actress. Dracula (March 1931) is better. But still this is good horror movie. One of the scariest movies from the 70's. You will not want to see it alone. Dracula (1992) is better. This does not have same story line has Dracula's Daughter from 1936. Dracula's Daughter (1936) is better. This is a very scary movie. This movie is a must see.

Red-Barracuda Jess Franco's Dracula's Daughter is a bit of a combination of genre styles that were popular in 1972. Its part lesbian vampire film, part giallo and part sexploitation. In fairness it isn't all that successful in any of those sub-genres. The reason I guess is a common one when it comes to Franco and that's that it seems to have been knocked together too quickly for its own good. You can't help but think that there's the basis of a decent film here but it ultimately doesn't add up to a great deal.The vampire part of the story is never developed very clearly and there aren't any actual scary horror moments. In fact poor Howard Vernon plays Count Dracula but never even gets to get out of his coffin. I haven't really got any good idea why this is so but that's just the way it is. Similarly, the giallo thread is sort of there but at no point does Franco go to the trouble of generating any actual suspense (does he ever?) so it really doesn't add an awful lot and ultimately promises more than it delivers. While from a sexploitation perspective I can't say it was too erotic, the titillation is strictly forgettable. Sometimes Franco really needs a great leading lady like Soledad Miranda to make this kind of stuff work but he doesn't have anyone of that high calibre here unfortunately.It's not a complete wash out though. There is some decent photography at times, and the locations are pretty nice. While the typical Franco weirdness is always sort of interesting to watch. This is not one of his better films. Having said that it sure isn't one of his worst either. I guess ultimately it's one that can only really be recommended to Franco fans; for everyone else, enter at your own risk.

tedg Spoilers herein.I admit I find current Spanish-speaking filmmakers the most interesting. And because of that, I'm plowing through Franco films. They all sort of blend into one another after a while, except for those featuring a lover.The thing I like about them generally is how self-conscious the camera is, what with the zooms and sweeps and such. Usually, they also include him as a character, often as observer or investigator in a folded narrative. (Nico Mastorakis does this much better in 'island of Death.')No narrative in film could be more formulaic than the vampire film, especially one that focuses on the sex of the wives (here 'daughters'). On that he attempts layers. These aren't intelligent or deep, but they are there and pave the way for Pedro and Julio.Along the way, he got the business about one of Dracula's wives being redhaired and confused. That's important, that.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

ilovejeanrollin A women is murdered in her bath by a sinister individual dressed in black. In a manor-house near the scene of the crime, Baroness Karlstein wakes up with a start. She is gravely ill and is only awaiting the arrival of her granddaughter Luisa before dying. When Luisa arrives, her grandmother tells her of the curse that has haunted the family for generations, revealing that the first Baron Karlstein was a vampire, and gives her the key to the chapel. Luisa decides to move into the manor with her uncle Baron Max Karlstein and her cousin, Karine. The only fly in the ointment is the presence of the highly intelligent caretaker, Cyril Jefferson...This movie was more improvised than well done. It is a very curious film and also very boring. Howard Vernon, as a sort of count Dracula, is only here to justify the title of the film. His scenes are too short, just lying in his coffin, eyes open are showing off his teeth.. Fun in a way...Britt Nichols is very beautiful as always, and her lesbian scenes with Anne Libert are the best you can get from LA FILLE DE Dracula. But, there are too many tight close-ups to really enjoy it! Some captivating unreal atmosphere kept me watching from beginning to end... But, as always with most of Jess Franco films, you must be a bit of a masochist to enjoy these piece of...cinema!
