A Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2003)

What can I say about this daring adaptation of Bram Stoker's most famous novel. The story, the sets, the acting (sorry Keanu - I've got to leave you out), the suspense - man o man Francis Ford Coppola delivers a coup in this retelling. I have failed to mention the most masterful piece of this movie: Dracula himself. Gary Oldman is simply amazing as the undead Count. His mannerisms, charm and wits perfectly display the Count of my imagination. I cannot recommend this movie more highly - I saw it seven times in 1992 and multiple times on vhs and dvd. PS: For impeccable viewing get the Columbia Superbit DVD. My score: 10/10!
