Dracula (1979)



In 1913, the charming, seductive and sinister vampire Count Dracula travels to England in search of an immortal bride.

From memory: Stylish adaptation with more emphasis on romance than horror; in itself an above-average movie, but quite harmless.

Halliwell*: "A lush, expensive and romantic version which presents the count as a matinee idol and spends too much time on the romantic scenes to distract attention from an old old story."

Maltin*1/2: "Murky retelling of Bram Stoker classic, with Langella's acclaimed Broadway characterization lost amid trendy horror gimmicks and ill-conceived changes in original story."
