brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 1999)

very seldom does a movie come along that leaves you in such awe, and dracula is no exception.
loosly based on Vlad "the impaler" during the opening scene, the movie is as good as the book. Gary Oldman is simply awesome, as dracula, the mannerisms, voice and emotions perfect beyond compare.Anthony Hoppkins as Van Helsing , Dracula`s life long nemisis delivers a brilliant performance as a man obsessed to rid the world of the devil. other performances by sadie frost as lucy were also inspiring.
the visuals and most of all the score were simply breath taking.
even the scenes of blood pools were tastefully done , unlike other movies where you feel sick.
the most brilliant of all scenes is the seduction of Jonathan Harker by the 3 wives of Dracula... it was the most erotic horror sequence i have ever seen.
on the whole a brilliant film that should become a cult classic.
