From Academy Award �-winning director Francis Ford Coppola (1974, Best Director, The Godfather Part II). When Dracula (Gary Oldman) meets Mina (Winona Ryder), a young woman who appears as the reincarnation of his lost love, the two embark on a journey of romantic passion and horror. Review: Francis Ford Coppola’s wonderfully ambitious romantic horror-fantasy about a legendary vampire with a broken heart. - This admirable and perhaps unparalleled vampire film brings us both the classic monster and star-crossed lover alike. Iconic horror atmosphere coupled with dark fantasy, romance and a major budget. Wow. To anyone casually strolling up to this film for the first time, I’d remind you that it’s approaching 30 years old and (among a divisive crowd) it should be regarded with respect. I remain pleased with the production to this day, but some of the impressively designed sets (e.g., the altar scene when Dracula drinks the blood of the cross) may strike some as “small.” I hadn’t seen this since my college years (maybe around 2001-2003). I recall loving it and, you know what? I still do—as Dracula did Elisabeta. The introduction to our famous monster’s origins paints suffering in Dracula’s war path to return to his love Elisabeta (Winona Ryder; Beetlejuice, Stranger Things, Heathers), with unsubtle brushstrokes reddening his berserk discovery of her death. Yell at a few priests, you go to confession. Drink the blood of Christ in an act against Christ… you forfeit your humanity. Gary Oldman is one of the silver screen’s great treasures. Manic in Sid and Nancy (1986), terrifying in Leon: The Professional (1994), and embracing cheeky villainy in The Fifth Element (1997; podcast), his range is broad and admirable. Oldman always brings his A-game, yet here things feel even a bit more intense than his oft-dire presence typically permits. Whether emotionally exploding in a cathedral imbibing the Lord’s blood in sacrilege, or questioning the fate of his love mid-blood baptisim, he is wonderful as our stylish Dracula! Director Francis Ford Coppola’s (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) undead adaptation was ambitious. This film really went for it! It may be regarded by some as “a bit much,” but I think its atmosphere conveyed a sense appropriate for horror-fantasy. The opening scene’s religious influences, the horrific mystique of Transylvania, Jonathan’s (Keanu Reeves; Constantine, Knock Knock, The Neon Demon, John Wick) letter-narrated journey to the foreign land, and Van Helsing’s (Anthony Hopkins; Westworld, The Wolfman, Silence of the Lambs) harrowing yet hammed-up accounts of Dracula’s oversea journey all pour over a sense of epic saga. Dracula’s incredibly long robe and almost impishly unmatching shadow, blood geysers bursting from the sides of the bedroom and the Raimi-esque blood vomit, his curiously demonic coachman, the hyper-erotic illness striking its victims and turning Keanu into a sexualized blood bag for the brides of Dracula (including Monica Bellucci; The Brothers Grimm, The Brotherhood of the Wolf, Matrix: Reloaded), and Van Helsing’s garish commentary regarding the mutilation of a corpse all contribute to this incredibly stylish, star-studded and ambitious endeavor. The wonderful make-up for Dracula’s hybrid wolf and bat forms, the skittish wall-crawling (reminiscent of 1990’s Exorcist III and 1988’s Fright Night part II), and the inclusive effort covering all of the classic folklore (e.g., mirrors, stakes, reflections, crucifixes, garlic) contribute to this admirable and perhaps unparalleled vampire film—bringing us both monster and star-crossed lover alike. This delivered a classic horror atmosphere coupled with dark fantasy, romance and a major budget. What can I say? I’m a fan. Review: This product is Excellent! - EXCELLENT!

Best Dracula movie
One of the best Dracula movies ever made! The only drawback was Keanu Reeves miscast in this movie. Gary Oldman as Dracula and Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing carry the movie with Winona Ryder doing a fantastic job as Madame Mina.

Visually stunning Dracula film with a stellar cast, despite a slightly long runtime
While a tad overly long towards the end, this Dracula film has lush costume design, set design, cinematography, visual effects, and the directing, screenplay nails the seductive theme of vampirism. Anthony Hopkins as sarcastic, dry humored Van Helsing was perfect casting. Winona Ryder is solid as Mina, Gary Oldman is fantastic as the different versions of Dracula. Sadie Frost is terrific as Lucy. Keanu Reeves is a-okay, I feel like he was miscast as Jonathan. My fave scene is when Lucy becomes a vampire and is shown in the crypt, where Van Helsing and her suitors await to stake her, classic scene.

Outstanding story. Extraordinary costumes
I love Dracula. This is the best remake of this movie. Many have tried to duplicate, all have failed! This was released when I was 12 years old and I have watched it too many times to admit

Love this film. The beast vampire film I've ever seen. Great acting especially Cary Elwes who played Lucy's fiancée. Dark with a modern twist.

Im Gegensatz zu Büchern, die darauf "spezialisiert" sind, ihrem Publikum die inneren Zustände von Charakteren näher zu bringen, ist Film ein schwerpunktmäßig visuelles Medium, das auf dargestellte Aktion und bildliche Symbolik als Stilmittel setzt. Diese Unvereinbarkeit der Ansätze mag einer der Hauptgründe sein, warum filmische Buchumsetzungen ihr Publikum oftmals enttäuschen. Bram Stoker's Dracula ist einer der wenigen Filme, die "ganz Film" sind und ihrer literarischen Vorlage trotzdem gerecht werden. Dies liegt zum einen am gewählten Thema. Dracula ist selbst Menschen ein Begriff, die das Buch nie gelesen haben. Der klassische Stoff, der bereits oft in verschiedenen Medien interpretiert wurde, ist so etabliert, dass er zwar ein einzigartiges Werk darstellt, aber aufgrund seines allgemeinen Bekanntheitsgrads nicht so fest an die Konventionen seiner Buchform gebunden ist, dass ein Ausbruch aus ihnen zwangsläufig störend auffällt. Bram Stoker's (bzw. Francis Ford Coppolas) Dracula ist ein bildgewaltiges Epos um Schuld und Unschuld, Liebe und Hass, Verführung, Sturz und Sühne. Der Film schafft es, ein opulentes, vor Farbsymbolik strotzendes und atmosphärisch extrem dichtes Werk zu sein. Gleichteitig ist er auch eine Liebeserklärung an das Medium Film, mit dem das Draculathema seit dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert untrennbar verbunden ist. Antiquiert wirkende Kompositionsmittel wie Irisblenden, monochromatische Farbgebung oder das transparente Einblenden unheilvoller Augen und Gesichter in Szenen muten wie eine Erinnerung an die ersten Horrorfilme an, die mit einfachsten Aufnahmetechniken ihre Atmosphäre erzeugten. Selbst der giftgrüne Nebel, in den sich dieser Dracula der 90er verwandelt und der Erinnerungen an das Trashfilmimage späterer Genrevertreter weckt, verbindet sich mit den herrlichen Kulissen der bedrückend leblos wirkenden Studioaufnahmen und Aufsehen erregenden Makeup-Effekten. Inhaltlich ist Bram Stoker's Dracula auf verstörende Weise erotisch, verrucht und abstoßend, aber niemals vulgär oder auf reine Effektheischerei ausgelegt wie die vielen Filme des Splattergenres, das dem klassischen Horrorfilm entwuchs. Tatsächlich sind die Hauptfiguren und "Helden" dieser Interpretation der Geschichte Mina Harker und ihr Geliebter Dracula, die sich gegenseitig in einem Sog aus urtümlicher Leidenschaft verlieren und die Kraft aufbringen müssen, sich aus diesem zu befreien. Nur so können beide dem Fluch entrinnen, der Dracula seit Jahrhunderten quält. Unterstützt werden Gary Oldman in der Rolle des Dracula und Winona Ryder als Mina Harker von einer Riege köstlich überzogen aufspielender Charakterdarsteller, allen voran Anthony Hopkins als Vampirjäger Abraham van Helsing, der gleichzeitig väterlicher Freund, verschrobenes und weltfremdes Genie und besessener Kreuzzügler gegen das Böse ist. Selbst farb- und charmlose Charaktere wie Keanu Reeves Jonathan Harker fügen sich in das Gesamtensemble ein. Mal erstickend und klaustrophobisch, dann wieder blutig und fiebrig leidenschaftlich, aber auch auf charmante Weise ironisch, altmodisch und voller bewusst theatralischer Effekte ist Bram Stoker's Dracula ein Genuss für Freunde des stilvollen Horrors.
