Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2013)

Francis Ford Coppola's daring screen adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" starts with a bang. A bang which sets the tone perfectly for the rest of the movie. Often confusing and abstract "Bram Stoker's Dracula" is a complex puzzle of horror, love and other stuff. The film starts with a young Dracula renouncing God and stabbing a cross in a church; the cross presides to bleed, literally. Quickly the Church is flooded with blood and the young Dracula is transformed into the infamous prince of darkness. Now if that "bang" sets the tone perfectly for the rest of the movie then you know that you are in for one hell of a roller-coaster.
