A fantastic Cinematic Film

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2000)

A film like this is better for its cinematic ideals rather than neccesarily the plot. The use of Keanu Reeves' very wooden english accent may seem rather tedious but as the book is based around the prudeness of victorian society I think it is very apt. There are some great camera shots in this film, a jerky style of camera is used to portray madness. Which I felt worked very well. Just because a film doesn't follw the book it was based on exactly doesn't make it a bad film, It protrays the ideas and themes that Bram Stoker meant when writing his play. All of these together make - for me - a very entertaining film that thrilled me cinematically as well as having a followable plot, something that quite often can be lost when making a version of Dracula.
