Filming on Blood for Dracula began on location in Italy on the same day that filming of Flesh for Frankenstein ended, and knowing this enhances one's appreciation of director Paul Morrissey's delightfully twisted--and defiantly artistic--approach to violent, campy horror. Originally titled Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and Andy Warhol's Dracula, both films are blessed by Morrissey's opulent visual style (he and his Italian cinematographer worked wonders with modest budgets), and both showcase Udo Kier and the languorous hunk Joe Dallesandro in opposing roles. Here we find Udo Kier as Count Dracula, looking even more ashen than usual and desperate for the blood of virgins to restore his waning health. He travels to Italy and stays at the fading estate of a once-wealthy family, and the presence of four lovely, sexually inexperienced daughters turns out to be a recipe for disaster. It so happens that only the youngest daughter is actually a virgin, and by process of elimination Dracula discovers that non-virgin blood makes him violently ill! Dallesandro plays the resident handyman--handy in more ways than one, as the daughters have learned--who dares to protect the remaining virgin from the Count's bloodsucking exploits, and as usual director Morrissey finds ample opportunity to combine sex and gore with outrageous sensibility and logic of plot. As in the case of Flesh for Frankenstein, this Criterion Collection DVD restores the film to its original director's cut, presented in its original aspect ratio with a supplemental commentary by Morrissey, Kier, and critic Maurice Yacowar. Kier is particularly delightful, observing during one gruesome scene that "vomiting looks great when you've got a tuxedo on." --Jeff Shannon

Once in a millenium comes an exceptional movie that preserves the pristine elegance, unmatched charisma, and unbridled sexuality of one of the most revered characters of all time...
This is not that movie.
Blood for Dracula is an eccentric art film that accidentally bleeds into one campy, wiolent comedy. Or is it wice-wersa? Either way, this blood-soaked fang banger is bound to upset many wampire purists. I for one enjoyed it wery wery much.

Written/directed by Paul Morrissey and set primarily in a villa in Italy, ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA has some inspired casting. On the other hand, skin flick specialist Joe D. may look handsome here, but that New Yawk accent is laughable! Joe plays a Socialist peasant who awaits the Russian Revolution's arrival in Italy. Only then will noble families like the one he works for get their comeuppance. But his ain't da main staw-ree.
This movie is known by a half dozen names. The original title, ... Read More

This truely is a unique kinde of Dracula film,.. One of the few originals of the genre. It has a clever concept, is funny at times but also rather tragic. It's not a movie for just anyone, but rather for a special kinde of viewer,..a CULT film in a very true sense of the term,..probably more for the John Waters set than the typical ordinary horror fan.
Now this movie often gets labeld as a "comedy" and, as a result of THAT, I think that many people who see this movie, and are'nt pleased ... Read More

Campy seriousness or seriously camp? Who cares?!? Udo Kier's hypnotically unintelligible accent is beyond belief. Hell, ALL the accents are beyond belief. Ditto the bloody vampiric feeding scenes. If you're a fan of the cultish and the weird, treat yourself -- you've not seen anything like this before (unless you already HAVE seen it, of course).

When I saw Warhols Frankenstein in the origianl 3-D (Still have the glasses) at the age of 15, snuck in. I was blown away. And now Blood For Dracula. This one is great too but in a suttle way. I was struck at how such an inexpensive film($340,000)could look and sound so good. The first thing I noticed was the great musical score, just loved it. And of course the photography was rich and handsome too. I knew this was a super cheesey film and boy was it great. If you know what you are getting into for ... Read More
