Beschreibung
Poorly received upon its release, Dracula A.D. 1972 has since evolved into a controversial cult classic. This book, the first dedicated solely to the film, analyzes the political, social, and cinematic contexts in which the film was created. Key themes explored include the occult revival of the early 1970s, the psycho-geography of the Chelsea neighborhood where the story is set, and the role of the film's distinctive cars, costumes, and set design.
Situating Dracula A.D. 1972 within the traditions of revenge tragedy and contemporary horror cinema, this volume examines the film's nostalgic power, highlighting Mike Vickers' musical score, the impact of actors Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, and the creative vision of director Alan Gibson. It provides crucial insights into the film's production and lasting significance, highlighting the artistic and historical influence that established it as a cult classic.
