After their carriage breaks down and their driver is killed in a freak accident, a group of young women are forced to spend the night in a strange and isolated former sanatorium, which has just been purchased by the secretive Dr. Marlow (Paul Naschy). Unbeknownst to the visitors, Dr. Marlow is actually Count Dracula, and stalking the sanatorium are his recently turned vampire slaves. Soon the guests begin to be attacked by the ravenous bloodsuckers, while Dracula sets his sights on the beautiful virgin Karen, deciding to offer her his hand in marriage...
One of Naschy's most significant roles, Javier Aguirre's COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE is a sensitive, complex, and surprisingly subversive Dracula story featuring expert direction, effective gothic atmosphere, and gruesome violence. Presented here in its full strength 'unclothed' export version, Vinegar Syndrome brings this classic piece of Spanish horror cinema to Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world, fully restored from its uncut International negative and featuring a never released feature length audio commentary track with star Naschy and director Aguirre.

"The print and transfer on this are great. Previously or on streaming, only a muddy version, probably from a VHS tape, was available. In this edition, the sound and picture are very clear. The movie itself is all over the place but a fun, somewhat random Dracula movie. A gothic setpiece that could be a fun second or third feature after some Hammer Horror, heading into the late night. . ."
"Take no time in purchasing this highest quality Naschy classic along with its beautiful slipcover! This is VS doing Naschy to the highest quality possible. Don't hesitate!"

"Great movie with very attractive women. Reminds me a little of Hammer horror movies."
"A slightly unusual vampire film with Paul Naschy as the Count. Good picture and sound quality with several sound and subtitle options. Great slipcover with spot gloss writing, Includes Blu-ray and DVD discs."
"Another fun movie from the great Paul Naschy - highly recommended!"
"I don’t know if it’s essential Naschy, but it’s a fun take on Dracula with a decent helping of blood and nudity. The disc is great with a solid, filmic transfer. The slipcover is lovely, too."
"Dracula is the story that has been done to death with all kinds of style & tones. Done by all kinds of acclaim directors. And aside from the spectacular restoration. The quality of the picture which is as fine as it can get. It is worth a watch. Just to experience Javier Aguirre's unique vision."
