A dark and disturbing romance, a bizarre adaptation.

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2019)

Dracula's classic comes to life with Coppola's work, being a story that combines different elements within one, remaining in itself as two main: Romance and terror.
Dracula is a unique film in its design, execution and narrative. Sometimes it feels slow, other times it feels very fast, the scenes stand out for their great practical effects and camera angles, the design of Dracula is especially fantastic and probably one of his best reincarnations on the big screen. The atmosphere of the film stands out for its incredible gothic atmosphere, dark and mysterious, perfectly building the great weight that has the name of Dracula. It contains incredibly disturbing scenes, especially if we take into account the year in which it was released, also taking into account the lustful scenes that pass around the film, you could say that it is a sensationalist film.
However, the film has a strange structure, feels rushed giving big blows in a premeditated way, the characters are not very calm, reaching almost unrealistic extremes, although it must be taken into account that the book also had certainly fantastic and sensational dialogues rather than realistic or logical.
It is a good film of terror and romance, innovative and unique for its effect. However, the fear effect is probably not as strong as it used to be because of the outdated effects, and the romance is quite coarse and snatched. It's a good classic, which comes as a surprise with its incredible level of visual narration, with excellent disturbing scenes and an exciting ending. A classic, no doubt.
