This film clocks in at 71 minutes, and another 20 would have done it a lot of good, helped flesh out the characters, and would not have overstayed its welcome. More meat on this skeleton would make it much more of a match for the film that comes before it--it would never really be the equal of <i>Dracula</i>, but it could be a lot more than it is.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-18037937772269319152021-10-26T22:14:41.916-05:002021-10-26T22:14:41.916-05:00This was one of the first "horror" films...This was one of the first "horror" films little me saw and it creeped me out! I watched it again years later and the experience wasn't nearly the same though I still thought it was a decent film of its type. But I've always remembered Gloria Holden from this despite seeing her in literally dozens of other films. Whenever I see her pop up anywhere my first thought is Dracula's Daughter! She was a successful character actress mostly at Warners (and you know when they were under contract in the Golden Age those people WORKED) but I think this was her sole lead. <br /><br />I agree about Otto Kruger. I'm a fan but silky villainy or suavely continental charm in support was where he made his strongest impact. In younger days he was often a romantic lead but fashions change and his sort of matinee idol comes across as very dated now. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
