Regarded as a direct result of "Dracula" by Tod Browning, "DRACULA'S DAUGHTER" is unfortunately a film disregarded in relation to other films of the register UNIVERSAL. Yet it is a work captivating and picturesque, worn by the actress who plays here GLORIA HOLDEN Countess Zaleska, daughter of Count Dracula, who was killed by Professor Van Helsing in the previous film.

truth is masterful, giving his character the thickness and lots of contrast, the countess is indeed tormented, refusing to return the estate of his vampire father. Hence arise from dialogues with tasty soul damned accompanying his servant SANDOR, which hopes to gain eternal life with the Countess and does everything he can to it can access a human destiny serene. S andor is here embodied by the writer-director-actor Irving Pichel, perfect in the role.
Countess desperately trying to conquer the love of Jeffrey Garth (Otto Kruger), a friend of Professor Van Helsing, but in vain.
Note that the character of Professor Van Helsing is VON HELSING renamed here without knowing why ... In any case, it is again excellent EDWARD VAN SLOAN who embodies perfectly still, only surviving cast of "DRACULA" BROWNING.
Note also the presence of the Viper as an actress in Hollywood, Hedda Hopper, who, with his rival Louella Parsons, demolishes many careers reinforced gossip juicy.
The film is full of Gothic scenes at will, the Abbey where CARFAX VON HELSING DRACULA just killed (we see also some plans for a wax statue of Bela Lugosi) through the London fog so expensive lovers gaslight, to finish at Borgo Pass, in Carpathians, where Dracula's castle (to see a map of a fugitive old tapestry representing LUGOSI plan interior).
The tone of the film is definitely rings true and tragic, and the film is quite avant-garde, because lesbianism tinged with sequences where the Countess under the influence of vampire seduced and mesmerized young wenches ready to sucker ...
To see for all this and more ...
