Zoltan, Draculas Bluthund (1977)

Zoltan, Draculas Bluthund: Directed by Albert Band. With Michael Pataki, Jan Shutan, Libby Chase, John Levin. Communist soldiers accidentally unleash the part-vampire servant of Dracula, as well as his vampire dog, during excavations in Romania. Together, they set out for America to find the last living direct descendant of the great Count. Meanwhile, said descendant, unaware of his true heritage, goes on vacation with his family and their dogs, not knowing they are in great danger. Fortunately, a vampire hunter is also on the case and is tracking down the servant and his dog, as well as the descendant, in order to destroy the former and protect the latter.

“No, this movie is just awful. In fact itu0026#39;s got to fall into my bottom five worst horror films ever. I bought it because it was directed by Albert Band. Very dull. Nearly unwatchable. The plot may sound kind of weird and fun, but I assure you that the story is presented in a most unexciting way. I paid even less attention to the action sequences than the tired talking scenes. No one could possibly give a hoot about any of these characters, puppies included. A movie has got to be pretty bad when it canu0026#39;t even generate sympathy for a cute puppy. People that slam u0026quot;The Hills Have Eyes Pt. 2u0026quot; for itu0026#39;s dog-based flashback would have a field day with this one.”
