ZEDD'S OPINION:

I have to say that this classic is just missing something, I don't know although there is a lot of good stuff to recommend it's really not a perfect movie. It's a shame that Dr. Edelman goes mad, I think that seemed tacked on and really wasn't needed and it was kind of short. 7 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

This has to be my third five in a row today, but I can't help it. I'll tell you what was missing from HOUSE OF DRACULA, passion. There was no passion in the performances, the actors were just going through the motion, except for Carradine, he always put his all no matter what the part. But the other members of the cast were just phoning it in, even Chaney. 5 STARS.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ STORY (The story works even if it was short.)
+ CHARACTERS (The characters were well written.)
+ CREATURES (Can't go wrong with classic creatures.)
+ JOHN CARRADINE (Is always good.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- MAD DOCTOR (Did Dr. Edelman have to go mad?)
- SHORT (Like a lot of the monster movies of this time period it was kind of short.)

...AND FINALLY...

- ACTING (For once the acting seemed lacking, like they were just going through the motions.)
