Daughter of Dracula - La fille de Dracula (1972)

Jess Franco vampire film. It gets off to an interesting start - a dying woman uses her last breath to tell her granddaughter about her vampire heritage and family links to a big castle on a hill. I was kind of looking forward to how this would turn out, but then the film…
