The premise

Set in London in the early 1970's, supposedly for teen thrills, Johnny organises a black magic ceremony in a desolate churchyard. The culmination of the ritual, however, is the rejuvenation of Dracula from shrivelled remains. Johnny, Dracula' s disciple, lures victims to the deserted graveyard for his master's pleasure and one of the victims delivered is Jessica Van Helsing. Descended from the Van Helsing line of vampire hunters her grandfather, equipped with all the devices to snare and destroy the Count, confronts his arch enemy in the age-old battle between good and evil.

Horror Vault's take

When a group of London hippies dabble in black magic during a late-night churchyard ceremony, they unwittingly unleash something far older and far deadlier than they bargained for. A devoted disciple begins steering fresh victims toward the shadows of that desolate graveyard, and it isn't long before a young woman with a very particular surname finds herself in the crosshairs. Her grandfather — the last of a storied line of vampire hunters — must dust off ancient knowledge and confront an immortal nemesis in the heart of swinging seventies London. It's a collision of eras that gives this Hammer entry a pulpy, time-capsule energy all its own.
