Doctor Dracula is a 1978 horror film directed byAl Adamson, featuringJohn Carradine. According to theVinegar Syndrome website, who released a DVD version in 2018, the film is a "schizoid reworking" of Paul Aratow'sLucifers's Women.[1]
John Wainwright is a best-selling author and magician who claims he is the reincarnation ofSvengali. He uses his skills as a hypnotist to take control of women. He starts to practice black magic.
The film uses footage fromLucifers's Women in addition to newly scenes shot by Adamson, with production by Sam Sherman: as a result,Doctor Dracula (90' long whileLucifer's Women had almost the same duration, with 91'[2]) comprises less sexual explicit content than Aratow's film but offers more aspects of a standard horror film.
The film is generally reviewed in comparison with the film it derives from and one of these reviews states: "BothLucifer’s Women andDoctor Dracula have their advantages, but neither one is able to live up to their intriguing titles."
