Each film in the so-called Bloodthirsty Trilogy has something different to offer. In this final entry, we have an effective isolated location, eerie wind effects, an appealing protagonist (albeit a little slow to recognize that gray-blue skinned people are probably vampires), some pretty gruesome scenes toward the end, and, like the second movie in the trilogy, The Lake of Dracula (the only one of the films to actually name Dracula within the plot), a very cool climactic sequence. One of the strangest things about The Evil of Dracula are the fights between the vampires and the people, which play out like relatively ordinary wrestling matches or fist fights.
As other reviewers have noted, this film and the others in the trilogy owe a lot to the Hammer vampire flicks. All three movies are fun, and worth watching for fans of vampire flicks, Gothic horror, and the Hammer films.
