Director Paul Morrissey (Heat) upends the horror genre with the grisly, hilarious, and strangely poignant story of Count Dracula (Udo Kier), forced to vacate his home and family to search for the blood of noble Italian virgins. He gets more than he bargained for with the Di Fiore family, whose patriarch (legendary director Vittorio De Sica) schemes to pawn off one of his daughters to the count in order to revive the estate's crumbling fortunes. Meanwhile, the communist gardener (Joe Dallesandro) satisfies his urges with the young daughters, turning the Count's quest into an ordeal of thwarted bloodlust. One of the most popular cult films of all time, this witty collision of high art cinema with outrageous sex and violence is presented in its original, full-length, uncensored version with a brand-new high-definition transfer.
