The premise

The Prince of Darkness casts his undead shadow once more over the cursed village of Kleinenberg when his ashes are splashed with bat's blood and Dracula is resurrected. And two innocent victims search for a missing loved one... loved to death by Dracula's mistress. But after they discover his blood-drained corpse in Dracula's castle necropolis, the Vampire Lord's lustful vengeance begins.

Horror Vault's take

Christopher Lee returns as the iconic Count in this Hammer horror entry that finds Dracula restored to unholy life and holding court in his fog-shrouded mountain stronghold. When a young couple ventures into the cursed shadow of the castle searching for a missing relative, they stumble into a world of dread, seduction, and violent retribution. Scars of Dracula leans into blood-soaked excess and Gothic atmosphere in equal measure, giving Lee rare moments of savage, hands-on menace. Fans of old-world European horror will find this entry among the more viscerally intense chapters in Hammer's Dracula saga.
