It's Alive double bill & others.

Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972)

A fantastic later addition of the series. It's pretty well packed & nicely paced; Lee and Cushing are, of course excellent, the Hammer beauties like Caroline Munro (though appeared with a short role) and Stephanie Beacham (looked stunning at the final showdown) and the overall 70's tone made it highly enjoyable.

>>: B+

Brazil (1985)

A remarkable satire of all time.

>>: A

It's Alive (1974)



A pretty decent suspenseful entertainer with an effective background score. Also the performance of John Ryan as the father was simply great to watch.

>>: B

It's Alive (2009)



As a remake I think it's just okay considering it's effort. It has a different approach in the storyline from the original and those alterations or the changes weren't enough for ruining anything that much. A time passing fair treat.

Btw, in matter of comparison...as almost based on the same theme, this year's dark horror gem Grace (2009) is obviously the superior one.
