I've yet to watch them all but for now it is as follows;
1. Horror of Dracula
2. Dracula: Prince of Darkness
3. Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
4. The Brides of Dracula
5. The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires
Not that much between them though, I've found the series consitent thus far.
- Horror of Dracula wins out due to the Lee & Cushing combo plus the simplicity of the original Dracula story. It's a solid simple tale.
- Prince of Darkness is good fun, I like the location, the characters (in particular the Counts butler/servant and Barbara Shelley, she's one of my favorite Hammer Girls.)
- Dracula Has Risen from the Grave has good production values, plenty of babes and is a solid story. Strong entry.
- Brides is a very good film but loses out a little due to no Christopher Lee. In truth I'm in need of a rewatch of this one.
- Seven Golden Vampires was alright, the kung-fu vibe is less prefered than the typical gothic horror of the others. Hence it's placement.
