Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
But Legosi is the primary reason to give the film a look, and his playfully lithe performance is an utter delight.

Rating: 4/5 --
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.

Set during WWII, the film tries to combine wartime propaganda and horror.

[Bela Lugosi] marvelously embodies the sinister character. [Full review in Spanish]

Rating: B- --
One of Bela Lugosi's better later day roles since he played Dracula in the 1930s for Universal.

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.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Bela Lugosi rises from the crypt in this blood-curdling horror classic.
In 1918, Armand Tesla (Lugosi), a 200-year-old Hungarian vampire, prowls the English countryside, feeding from the jugulars of the villagers. But Tesla's reign of terror is interrupted when a pair of scientists, Lady Jane (Frieda Inescort) and Sir John Ainsley (Roland Varno), drive a railroad spike through his heart. The "un-dead" Tesla remains safely entombed for two decades until the impact from a stray Nazi bomb accidentally releases him. Along with his werewolf servant Andreas Obry (Matt Willis), the resurrected vampire now plots vengeance on the family that put a halt to his nocturnal feasting.
For Lugosi at his most terrifying, it's The Return of the Vampire.
Product Description:
As the result of a bizarre accident, Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi) is resurrected by a Nazi bomb. Accompanied by his werewolf servant, the evil count scours the countryside in search of fresh victims.
