Nov 13, 1992 · Count Dracula (Gary Oldman) waits here as he has for centuries for the return of his dead bride, and when he sees a photograph of Reeves' fiancee, Mina Murray (Winona Ryder), he knows his wait has been rewarded at last. She lives again.
Overblown in the best sense of the word, Francis Ford Coppola's vision of Bram Stoker's Dracula rescues the character from decades of campy interpretations -- and features some terrific...

It’s hard to be mad at Dracula: Dead and Loving It, but it’s easy to be disappointed with it. The film could have been a wonderful follow-up to Young Frankenstein for director Mel Brooks. Dracula has just as much iconography as Frankenstein ripe for affectionate spoofing. Brooks targeted everything from Bela Lugosi’s accent to Gary Oldman’s wig and...
Good intentions can only take an adaptation so far. The 1970 Count Dracula lives up to its promise to be the most faithful depiction of Stoker’s novel for about a half-hour. Sir Christopher Leeis dressed all in black, sports the literary count's white hair and moustache, and gives disquieting recitals of some of Dracula’s finest speeches from the b...
The Last Voyage of the Demeter has a poetic title. And the idea of fleshing out the doomed ship's captain's log from the novel into a movie is an exciting premise. Frankly, it's more promising than another straightforward adaptation of the whole novel would be at this point, the kind of fun twist on the original worth rooting for. Unfortunately, tw...
I’ve always preferred Dracula to Frankenstein. But I’ll readily concede that Universal gave the latter much better sequels. The Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein are two of the best entries in the Universal horror canon. Dracula’s Daughter and Son of Draculasuffer by comparison. Neither is as quirky, ambitious, nor memorable as their co...
Of the two classic Universal sequels, Son of Dracula has more to it, even with such bad miscasting as the all-American Lon Chaney Jr. as Dracula (and it is Dracula himself here, despite the title). He gives it the ol' college try, and he was the first to play Dracula in a moustache, but there's no getting around his voice or his blue-collar demeano...
Abigail's connection to Dracula is a tenuous one. If early publicity hadn't named it a reinvention of Dracula's Daughter, you could probably miss that the film has anything to do with the count at all. The premise of a kidnapping gone wrong is certainly a fresh take on the idea of Dracula having a little girl, and there is some fun and stylish art ...
Throwing Dracula into the 1970s was an obvious act of desperation by Hammer, and Dracula A.D. 1972 is no one’s idea of a masterpiece. But the juxtaposition of traditional Gothic horror and the hip scene of 70s London is so silly, I can’t help but like it. The film is dated in only the most charming of ways. One person who didn’t enjoy the fun was C...
Now here’s a Dracula spoof with some pizzazz. Perpetually tan actor George Hamilton may seem an odd choice to play any vampire, let alone Count Dracula. But he managed to morph his Lugosi impression into a full comic character: dignified, out of touch, and sexually frustrated. He can smoothly handle Van Helsing’s psychiatrist descendent, but the Ro...
Hammer’s inaugural entry in their Dracula series is held in high esteem among horror circles. It’s hard not to attach some greater weight to this film; it was the first time Christopher Lee played Dracula and Peter Cushing played Van Helsing. Yet I can’t say it’s ever been among my favorites. The female leads are stiff, the scale is constrained by ...
I’ve never been a fan of making vampires heroic or sympathetic. That goes double for Dracula: he’s evil and scary by design in the book, and that’s the way I like it. I’m also not a fan of inconsistently applying Stoker’s vampire lore; either stick to the rules or throw them out, but don’t change your mind mid-movie. Universal’s 1979 Draculais guil...
