Dracula Has Risen from the Grave is the fourth of the Dracula films from Hammer Horror, released in 1968 and set immediately after the events of Dracula: Prince of Darkness. Directed by Freddie Francis, the film stars Christopher Lee in his third appearance as the Count, along with Rupert Davies, Veronica Carlson, Barbara Ewing, Barry Andrews, and Ewan Hopper.The film opens with an altar boy about to ring a church bell when suddenly something wet drips on his cheek. Inspecting it, he discovers it is blood. He climbs up the bell tower, and to his horror discovers the corpse of a young woman crammed inside the church's bell with two bloody punctured holes in her neck. A year later in 1896, after Dracula has supposedly been destroyed, Monsignor Ernest Muller (Davies) comes to the village on a routine visit only to find that the altar boy is now a frightened mute and the Priest (Hooper) has apparently lost his faith. Moreover, the villagers won't attend Mass at the church, because the shadow of Dracula's castle touches it. To fix this, the Monsignor decides to go with the Priest to the castle and exorcise it.The terrified Priest follows only partway up the mountain, leaving the Monsignor to continue alone. As Muller exorcises the castle, affixing a large metal cross to its door, a thunderstorm begins. The Priest flees, stumbles, and is knocked unconscious when his head strikes a rock. The blood from the wound on his head trickles down to a frozen stream, then through a crack in the ice onto the lips of the body of Count Dracula— awakening him. The unknowing Monsignor returns to the village, reassures the villagers, and returns to his home city of Kleinenberg.Unfortunately, this isn't the end. The newly-revived Dracula is angered at the cross barring entry into his castle and vows revenge. He travels to Kleinenberg, where—aided by the Priest and a barmaid named Zena (Ewing), both of whom are under his power—he targets the Monsignor's niece, Maria (Carlson). It ultimately falls to Maria's Love Interest, a studious young atheist named Paul (Andrews), to save her and stop Dracula.Followed by Taste the Blood of Dracula.

The Quiet One: Dracula is more talkative here, unlike the previous movies. Just a few line sparse, however. In fact, starting from this movie till the last one of the Hammer saga he has more lines than he had before.

comment
Same Content, Different Rating: This explicitly gory film was given a G rating in the U.S., which it still has. Since this was the very first movie to receive an MPAA rating, it was before the G rating was truly codified as "kids stuff". In most other countries, it has the local equivalent of a PG-13 or R rating.

Our Vampires Are Different
 Dracula Has Risen from the Grave / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: It's not enough to drive a stake through a vampire's heart; you have to pray after you do it. This allows Dracula to escape when Paul the Straw Atheist stakes him but can't bring himself to utter the required prayer. Holy symbols are also shown to repel vampires; Dracula is unable to enter his castle due to the cross chained to the doors by the Monsignor, and is unable to pull the cross out of himself after his fatal fall onto it at the end of the film (he tries, but but reels in pain when he touches the cross).

Hollywood Atheist: Paul in label, but averted in behavior. He's a pretty decent guy who just happens to not believe. However, he does start his path to believing something is out there in the end upon seeing the effect crosses have on vampires. Then again, he does allow Dracula to escape a staking because he refuses to pray.

Avoid the Dreaded G Rating
 Dracula Has Risen from the Grave / int_dec54a8c
comment
Avoid the Dreaded G Rating: Subverted. A very rare and confusing example; despite it being an obvious horror movie with two stabbing scenes, several deaths, and quite a lot of blood, Dracula Has Risen From The Grave was actually rated G by the Motion Picture Association of America, the same rating you'd see attached to any Disney film of the time. This error has not been corrected since with even the film's Blu-Ray release retaining the G rating. The film was released just as the MPAA went into place; it was the very first film to be rated. The ratings were different then, it may be that the ratings board saw it as a horror film the general audiences could enjoy. Remember that 2001: A Space Odysseynote with a number of onscreen murders and the "Stargate" sequence leading into the legendary Gainax Ending, it was decidedly not kids' fare and Star Trek: The Motion Picturenote Which included some genuinely terrifying scenes of a transporter accident and the Vejur probe attacking the Enterprise bridge, not to mention bucketsful of sexual innuendo surrounding Lt. Ilia, neither of which would be likely to even be considered for a G today were also rated G on their original releases note Star Trek was later re-rated PG for the 2001 Director's Edition. It could be that since the MPAA/MPA only requests re-rating for new cuts of the film, and since no known re-edits of the film have been released, the G rating is grandfathered in.
