A gothic masterpiece from writer/director Jess Franco starring Christopher Lee as the Count, Herbert Lom as Van Helsing and Klaus Kinski as Renfield
THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE RESTORED FROM THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE WITH 5+ HOURS OF NEW SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDING THE DOCUMENTARY DRÁCULA BARCELONA PLUS BRUNO NICOLAI SOUNDTRACK CD AND MORE
In early 2023, a Madrid film archivist made a startling discovery: the uncut camera negative of COUNT DRACULA, in pristine condition and untouched for over 50 years. This gothic masterpiece from writer/director Jess Franco can now be experienced like never before, from its brilliant performances by Christopher Lee as the Count, Herbert Lom as Van Helsing, Soledad Miranda as Lucy, Maria Rohm as Mina and Klaus Kinski as Renfield to its sumptuously unnerving cinematography and eerie Bruno Nicolai score. COUNT DRACULA is newly scanned in 4K with over five total hours of Special Features, including the U.S. Premiere of Carles Prats' 2017 documentary DRÁCULA BARCELONA, which chronicles the simultaneous filming of VAMPIR-CUADECUC by Pere Portabella and Franco's horror classic.
