Is the Satanic Rites of Dracula Really the Worst of the Hammer Dracula Films?

[dcj2112]

According to IMDB it is as the rating is 5.6. The next closest are Dracula AD 1972 and The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires both at 6.0.

I've been on a Hammer kick lately and watched Satanic Rites recently and enjoyed it a lot. I'm trying to watch the rest in order to compare them to one another and for fun. I watched the Brides of Dracula today and think I may have enjoyed it more than Satanic Rites, but definitely less than the first. So Satanic Rites is technically the worst according g to recent memory, but I may feel different once I finish this process. I think it may also get a bad rap since it fell into the public domain and so many people have only been able to view crappy prints of the film.

No- It's the worst. Next is DRACULA AD 1972. Bad.

I Think I like SCARS OF DRACULA (1970) best because I seen it at the theater in 1970 when I as 8.
2. HORROR OF DRACULA (1958)
3.TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA (1970)

Yeah having dracula fighting a bunch of james bond film wanna-be's in a secret agent style movie made this bad. Pulling the Hawthorne weakness out of the writer's @$$ was both lame,  yet also a clever take on the legendary Dracula weaknesses.

Maybe I'll have to watch The Satanic Rites of Dracula, just to see if it is the worst of the Lee Dracula. Till then, of the ones that I have seen, maybe it is not the worst, but the one that I like the least is Taste the Blood of Dracula.

[The Burgomaster]

I think it's pretty entertaining.

i think i'd vote for AD 72 as the worst, personally.
