blood of dracula (1957)

aka Blood Is My Heritage. Blood of the Demon.
"There's a power greater than science that rules the earth."

Nancy (Sandra Harrison), a rebel, is shuffled off to boarding school when her father re-marries. At the school she falls pray to science teacher Miss Branding (Louise Lewis), who experiments on her with regression therapy and hypnosis. Following a series of murders the police get involved, but only local doctor Mike (Paul Maxwell) seems to realise that a vampire is on the prowl.

Typical exploitation fare, it promises Dracula and blood and delivers neither! What it does deliver is a rock n roll musical number, some half-hearted acting and a bizarrely made up vampire. And there you have it, a true b-movie, and a particularly pedestrian one at that.
