It’s likely there are deeper mysteries than what psychiatry can explain, Mr. Garth. Five years after Universal introduced Bela Lugosi as Dracula to moviegoers, the follow-up appeared—though without Lugosi reprising his role as the Count. The story begins where the previous film concluded, depicting Von Helsing (note the spelling: Von, not Van) in custody for killing the vampire. Contessa Marya Zeleska then initiates a series of events that reveal vampiric stories and intense feelings. Dracula’s Daughter has an understated, dreamlike quality reminiscent of the kind of atmosphere Val Lewton would later develop and become known for. The film is beautifully shot (by George Robinson), and there are some clever elements in the script—such as hints of a lesbian relationship and the fact that the vampire is portrayed sympathetically because she’s looking for a way to get rid of her condition. However, the dialogue feels excessive and the movie lacks any real bloodshed; it's almost like those involved neglected to incorporate actual horror elements. There's also an uncomfortable mix of comedy and serious drama that doesn't quite work, and the conclusion feels rushed and unsatisfying. It’s a pleasant film, well-made, but “pleasant” isn’t really what you expect considering the legacy of the original stories. 6/10
