The version on Tubi at the moment has English subs for the Spanish dialog. Oh wow. I thought she looked a bit familiar, but it never clicked with me. I mostly remember her from White Squall and Disclosure, but didn't recognize the cute nurse at the beginning was her. I liked the 2010 Wolf Man. I think the longer cut on the blu-ray helped it, and was better than the theatrical release. <blockquote>The tone and feel of these new Universal monster movies seems all wrong. </blockquote> Sounds like they aren't about monsters, but rather about MANsters. I think the music is one of it's strong points. I can see the mix being an issue, but I didn't really have much trouble understanding dialog on the recent blu-ray release which uses the original theatrical mix. There were maybe two times I turned on subs for a second to catch a line I didn't get, but I like the Tangerine Dream music quite a bit. She varies her expression about as much as a stone carving. She did look still look very pretty in this, and sexy. Was nice to see. I'm 95% certain those ass shots where she's on her stomach are a double. Too bad they did that. Would have been better to see Sean's real body, instead of the obviously too perfectly sculpted younger person they stuck there. About 81 minutes in he is in a wheelchair when Harker and Quincy meet him at the office of some public official. He mentions having had a slight stroke, but is obviously able to start walking again a bit later. I just watched this last night. I had seen it a few years ago, but after seeing the new <i>Nosferatu</i>, have been revising some of the older Dracula movies. It's okay, but my style of Franco film. I think it's too restrained, and feels like one of the Hammer films before they began spicing things up. Some locations look great. Herbert Lom was a pretty good Van Helsing. And I liked the sequence with Lucy at the park beckoning the child who she later kills. But then there's that (stuffed) animal attack sequence, which is pretty funny. There's a lavish pretty new 4k edition from Severin that I'm sure is definitive, but I just don't enjoy this one enough to buy it. Thankfully Tubi let me refresh my memory. I see that Peter Strickland is listed as the writer, but I'd always been under the impression this was another adaption of the story "I'm Dangerous Tonight", which was made into a movie in 1997 and then done as an episode of the TV series The Hunger in 2000. The plot seems a bit similar. Did Strickland say he was inspired by those, or the original 1937 short story by Cornell Woollrich? It is a very beautiful theme. Watched this for the first time tonight and that theme really stood out. Stuck in my mind as I'm going to bed. This video of the opening of the movie has the theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpOgUd2G4tI That's what I'd want in a movie like this. I take it Cassandra Peterson is really a very small part? Hopefully the OOP blu-ray gets reisssued soon. She's certainly gotten better. But she barely speaks in this. I thought she was playing a mute at first. The blu-ray from Olive has a decent looking transfer. It's barebones (no special features), but looks good enough. Dennis Hopper's Irish accent doesn't sound any better than it ever did, though! The girls in this are all very attractive. Sexy girls, real tits, seemed to have good fun personalities the way they were getting into the contest. I think anyone calling these women "ugly" is just used to modern celebs with photoshopped filtered instagram glamor shots. <blockquote>YES! Very HOT! The scene should have continued! 😉 The older lesbian kidnapper was played by Courtney Sands, a nude model who never made another movie. 😞</blockquote> That was my favorite part too. I'd put it just above the group topless scene in the pageant, which was fun. At least her name is right here, and she's not mistaken for Janus Blythe. Yeah, she did look great. But I enjoyed all the girls in this who showed themselves off. All real ones, no fakies. That's important! Funny, during the commentary for the movie, the director mentioned that she (Janet Blythe) is often confused with Janus Blythe from <i>The Hills Have Eyes</i>. Not the same girl. IMDB only has this movie credited to Janet Blythe. I wonder did she ever do any others? Are there movies of hers incorrectly credited to Janus? She should embrace it. I'd like to see that sometime. In an interview with her I saw, she doesn't mention it, of course. And says something about a movie <i>Willie & Phil</i> as being the only movie she was topless in. Hmmm. Is that true? Did she have a completely chaste/clothed role in the Alice X rated movie? That's too bad. 9 years later and probably still no progress. I just saw Kristine in Cheerleader's Wild Weekend, and there was an interview with her where this movie was mentioned. I vaguely remember seeing it long ago as a kid and would love to see it again. Was the sequence with the nuns marching to the guillotine and being beheaded in the theatrical cut?
