 Rated 7/10
I've never considered this an excellent movie. 1965 was a different time from 1958. The mood in this film lacks the concentrated intensity. Andrew Keir is much too broad a personality to create a sinister atmosphere.
I didn't think the storyline holds together as well.
But there are strong scenes which will create new fans though. That would involve the castle encounters with Klove and Dracula. Barbara Shelley has some chilling sequences.

There have been several video releases, of varying quality. The Eastmancolor positives went reddish as usual within ten years of distribution. Recent releases had to be remade from the negatives. Some processing was done. The Optimum DVD turned out a little overly bright, overcompensated. The TCM (Turner Classic Movies) release is well regarded.
