Coppola's great stake at the horror legend

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2001)

This version of Dracula stays more true to the book than any other form. Gary Oldman plays the role of the famous undead vampire who goes to London searching for his lost love from a previous life. He captures the lawyer fiance of the girl and tries seducing her herself. Winona Ryder plays Mina with a beem of sexual energy in her eye. Once her friend is bitten The vampire hunter played by Hopkins is brought in. The sets and the acting are good. The effects are wonderful. Coppola does a great job directing this. ***1/2
