It is almost half a century ago since Mummy's little soldier, Frankie Abbott (David Barry), was at Fenn Street School and he is now in a home, being looked after by his caregiver Agnes (Emma Dark). Frankie's nightmare begins when Agnes bares her fangs and he enters the world of vampires, lured into the graveyard by Clarissa Cobra (Caroline Munro) and meets the fearful Vera Vomit (Judy Matheson) and the vampire psychiatrist Dr Spritzer (Martin Rudman).
Directed by Jason Read, Frankula leans on a strong ensemble — David Barry, Emma Dark, Caroline Munro — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2017.
