The premise

Three elderly distinguished gentlemen are searching for some excitement in their boring borgoueis lives and gets in contact with one of count Dracula's servants. In a nightly ceremony they restore the count back to life. The three men killed Dracula's servant and as a revenge, the count makes sure that the gentlemen are killed one by one by their own sons.

Horror Vault's take

Three pillars of Victorian respectability — bored with their comfortable lives — dabble in the forbidden and unwittingly bring Count Dracula back from the dead. When their reckless actions cross a line that cannot be forgiven, Dracula sets his sights on making each man pay a terrible price. Christopher Lee commands the screen as the ancient predator, weaving dark influence through the lives of those the men hold most dear. This Hammer entry leans into social hypocrisy as much as supernatural terror, giving the bloodshed an unsettling moral edge.
