dracula (1992)


AKA Bram Stoker's Dracula.
"The blood is the life... and it shall be mine."
Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) is tasked with findind one of their clients a home in England, but he disappears once he visits the Count (Gary Oldman) in Transylvania. His fiance Mina (Winona Ryder) is worried, but her friend Lucy (Sadie Frost) takes her mind off things. Then Lucy starts acting funny and wierd things start happening. Enter Prof. Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins), who thinks he knows what the problem is...
The classic story is re-visited by Coppola, giving it all the lushness and sensuality he can to bring. Visually stunning, some atrocious miscasting make this an entertaining mix, but lacking the horror of older versions.
