Excellent!

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2002)

This movie was stunning in its depiction of the monster that we all love to hate. Gary Oldman did an unbelievably spectacular job of making the Count a despicable murderer, a grotesque old man, a sexy seducer and someone extremely pitiable. The settings were marvelous and the period clothing was breathtaking. Wynona Ryder played the lovely Mena superbly and Tom Waits gave a chilling depiction of Renfield that cut to the bone. The movie picks you up and sweeps you away and it is like moving down a river. Before you know it the ride is over and it leaves you wanting more!!
