So much average

Just perfect...

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This really should have been more fun than it is. I mean, Dracula's Dog just sounds like campy greatness. Unfortunately, it's a tired, mostly boring affair that looks like it was made for TV and takes itself too seriously. The story starts out where many Dracula movies have gone before, with someone removing the stake from the corpse and reviving Dracula. Only this time they don't revive Dracula but his guard dog Zoltan and his trainer or whatever (played by Reggie Nalder, one of moviedom's all-time best faces). Then the trainer takes Zoltan on a hunt for Dracula's sole living descendant (Michael Pataki), who has a dog of his own so expect a clash of canines at some point. This is all kind of dumb and could have been a lot better with a little more self-awareness and humor about what a 'dog' of an idea the movie is built around. See it if you must but keep expectations low.

Just saw this today I dvred it on TCM and now I wish I hadn't.This has got to be one of the worst,boring,incoherent,hilariously bad movies I've seen in years this one was a doozy for real.It's essentially about some weird mans dog and the weird mans part are hilariously bad and his part goes absolutely nowhere .The dogs owner the weird man I spoke of is staked by a detective near the middle of the movie which made his already bad part even worse .The effects are laughable and the acting was alright but nothing to write home about .Oh and the twist ending was adorable not the least bit scary no part of this entire movie was SCARY only boring,comical,and stupid .I can't believe I wasted my time with this one but if you like movies where a weird man stares menacingly over and over again ,communicates with his dog telepathically , and dogs eyes glow in a hilariously bad way then by all means check this COMEDY out and see for yourself just how bad it actually is.

Russian soldiers accidentally unleash the servant of Dracula, as well as his dog, during excavations of Romania. Together, they set out for America, to find the last descendant of the great Count...I had heard that the film was poor, but sometimes you just want to watch a bad film, to have a laugh and forget about the world, right?But this is just puerile, from the weird old bloke pouting with a torch under his head every time the titular dog attacks, to the actual dog with his lit up eyes, it's pretty dreadful stuff.The plot is weak, the performances are dreck, and what should be funny ends up as boring as hell.When you start to wonder how on earth they got the fangs on the dog, or the fact that they must have buried that puppy in order for it to climb out of the ground, your in trouble.Ferrer tries to add a little gravitas, but the clothes he wars just cannot be taken seriously, and also according to the film makers, everyone who goes camping in a tent, sleeps outside.It's awful stuff, not even worth it for the curiosity factor, and the ending promised a sequel. Well, 34 years down the line, it's doubtful.Good.

I'd always been interested in checking out this title – even if it always promised to be a goofy and highly improbable variation on the Dracula legend. The opening crypt sequence features any number of hilariously named members of the infamous vampire family…and, then, Zoltan itself (oversized fangs and all) emerges from inside a coffin!The plot is quite simple-minded: Dracula's dog (actually, this film's original title) revives sinister-looking but mute vampire acolyte Reggie Nalder so that they can go to America in search of their new master – but the latter is actually determined to (pardon the pun) bury his past and, wisely, has changed his surname to Drake! An Inspector from the old country, Jose' Ferrer, follows in pursuit – but even he has a tough time persuading current vampire descendant Michael Pataki (his statement that he ought to sue the makers of previous Dracula movies is amusing, but would have undoubtedly worked better had this particular entry been somewhat better!) of the danger to his life and soul. That said, a lot of weird crap has been happening during the Drake family's would-be relaxing camping trip – mostly revolving around the two Alsation dogs they brought along and their cute puppies! It's rather amusing to see a plethora of canines getting vampirized as opposed to people – so much so that, at times, it feels like one's watching an antropomorphic rendition of the Bram Stoker chestnut! Adding to the inescapable feeling of absurdity here is a cheesy score; the twist ending, then, is entirely predictable but also incredibly daft. Besides, the numerous close-ups on Nalder's scarred features for ostensibly eerie effect seem merely pointlessly morbid to me! Ultimately, the film is redeemed somewhat by a couple of intense attacks by the pack of vampire hounds towards the end – one with Pataki and Ferrer inside a cabin and the other on the former's car (in which he's sheltered) – as, otherwise, I'd have rated this even lower!
