“Tender Dracula is a combination horror film and French bedroom farce. It is one of Peter Cushingu0026#39;s least known films and for good reason. He plays a hammy actor who may or may not be a real vampire. Though Cushing is listed as the star, the film centers a lot more on the antics of two writers who visit Cushingu0026#39;s castle by the sea and the two girls they bring with them. There is a lot of nudity, some blood, some dream sequences and very little sense. Itu0026#39;s like the makers want the viewer to puzzle over whether what is happening is real or not. By the end, the film becomes almost dream-like and makes no sense whatsoever. Itu0026#39;s anybodyu0026#39;s guess as to why Cushing signed on for this film. It is way beneath him. Itu0026#39;s even beneath John Carradine!”
