'Taste' is an exception in the Hammer Dracula series.It has an entertaining late 60s generation gap allegory and a fantastic turn from Ralph Bates. I think its one of the few sequels that actually works, perhaps because Dracula is an incidental character (although the final two films work wonderfully well on a camp level). I always held Dracula Prince of Darkness as the most disappointing sequel mainly because Christopher Lee was so ill-served by the script. 'Taste' stands up better than most Hammer films of the period and would have been even more memorable if Vincent Price had played Geoffrey Keen's part as originally intended.
