If you open the big dictionary of film jargon at “Eurosleaze,” there’s a picture of Udo Kier. It was with his 1973 debut for Warhol acolyte Paul Morrissey, Flesh for Frankenstein, that he became an international star, but it was their collaboration a year later, Blood for Dracula, when he truly defined and refined his signature brooding histrionics. Vinegar Syndrome and the American Genre Film Archive present a new 4K scan taken from the original negative: The blood has never looked a deeper crimson, and Kier, recently departed, was never more seductively depraved. – Richard Whittaker
