I am really impressed by Hammer Studios' films, especially the sets and costumes. Every film I've seen has great set pieces and a rich, Gothic flair. "Taste the Blood of Dracula" isn't a great film from an acting standpoint but it does have a nice blend of action and thrills. Christopher Lee is once again menacing as Dracula.I liked the originality in this film as far as Dracula being resurrected. The plot is pretty simple: three prim and proper gentleman meet once a month to do "charity" work(you'll see what I mean when you watch the movie). They meet a young nobleman who is involved in satanism and the black arts. He encourages the three men to buy relics that include Dracula's cape,pendent,ring and a vial of his powdered blood. In an abandoned church, he cuts his wrist and the drops of his blood mixed with Dracula's powdered blood fills each of the men's chalices to the brim. Only the young nobleman drinks it and he then dies, only to turn into Dracula.This is a good film in the Dracula series. I would recommend it.
