House of Dracula Review

Review of House of Dracula (1945) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

Carradine plays a fun Dracula and Lon Chaney is always effective as his mopey character Talbot, perpetually in search for a cure or treatment for his condition. Edges a little bit towards a Jekyll/Hyde retelling but doesn't quite make that step.

The film would be a little richer for it if it had just gone for it. How exciting would it have been if you saw the birth of a monster, paved with good intentions in helping two others deeply ingrained in the Universal horror franchise?
