I'm going against the majority of views expressed here and not raving about this movie although its certainly better than the 1999 remake.
Not one of Hammers best despite good performances by Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee - it never really develops any tension until late on. Much of the camera work/editing is turgid and the atmosphere nosedives when Cushing/Lee are not onscreen. The poor indoor 'outdoor' sets also spoiled the atmosphere. Hammer did a lot better both before and after this one.
