Soft Core Porn, Utterly Ridiculous Costumes, feh!!

Rating: 4/10 (28 November 1999)

I lost whatever admiration I had for the film when I saw Gary Oldman made up like a gigantic white house fly in a red robe. The soft core porn scenes and the horrible faces made me want to puke.
The black and white version with Bela Lugosi is still the scariest and when he said "Listen to them...." it put chills ups my spine and still does. The '70's style getup the Dracula character assumes is a rotten reminder of an era best-forgotten.
save your money and watch the 1931 version. You can buy the Modern Library version of the novel and curl up in bed but it will take you several weeks to read it! Boy, its loooong.
