A landmark in Gothic horror, Dracula cemented Hammer Films' reputation as the leading force
in modern horror cinema and introduced audiences worldwide to Christopher Lee's definitive
interpretation of Bram Stoker's immortal vampire. Opposite Peter Cushing's fearless Van
Helsing, Lee brought a terrifying physicality and seductive menace to the role that would
redefine the Count for generations. This landmark 4K restoration from original film elements
reinstates footage that was believed missing for more than six decades and was previously
seen only by audiences attending the film’s original Japanese theatrical release in 1958. The recovered material has never been released before in the UK or US. It’s the cut the censors
tried to bury.

After Jonathan Harker attacks Dracula at his castle (apparently somewhere in Germany), the vampire travels to a nearby city, where he preys on the family of Harker's fiancée. The only one who may be able to protect them is Dr. van Helsing, Harker's friend and fellow-student of vampires, who is determined to destroy Dracula, whatever the cost.
