Synopsis
The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973) is a Hammer horror you can watch online on iFILM. Scotland Yard traces a run of bloodless corpses to a secret cult meeting in a country house — its members a government minister, a leading scientist, and the head of the secret service.
Behind the rituals sits a reclusive property tycoon nobody has ever met. The recluse is Count Dracula himself, and this time his scheme dwarfs any midnight hunt: cultivate a strain of bubonic plague and wipe out the human race in one stroke. Professor Van Helsing is pulled in to stop the old enemy once more. Christopher Lee dons the cape for his seventh and final outing as the Count, Peter Cushing meets him as the hunter, and a young Joanna Lumley plays Van Helsing's granddaughter.
Director Alan Gibson drops the vampire into 1970s London, swapping gothic castles for surveillance vans, spies, and a Cold War chill. The last screen showdown between two giants of British horror is worth the price of admission on its own. Fans of vintage Hammer and the Lee–Cushing pairing will eat it up.
