Critic Reviews for The Return of the Vampire
All Critics (8) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (2) | DVD (5)
But Legosi is the primary reason to give the film a look, and his playfully lithe performance is an utter delight.
[Bela Lugosi] marvelously embodies the sinister character. [Full review in Spanish]
Lugosi's fine tackling a variation of his signature role -- even if he was already starting to look frail at this point in his career -- and the wartime setting adds some interesting elements.
Set during WWII, the film tries to combine wartime propaganda and horror.
One of Bela Lugosi's better later day roles since he played Dracula in the 1930s for Universal.
A straightforward -- almost by-the-numbers -- vampire movie, and one that stays on something like a high school level of horror, but with a strong Lugosi performance.

Dracula (Lugosi) returns from being staked in the end of the last film, which really isn't supposed to be able to happen, but the writers wanted to make a sequel, so ta-da! The story is stupid and disappointing to the fans, but Lugosi gives a pretty good performance anyway.
