Dracula is about Love and the Un-Dead

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 1998)

I own Bram Stockers Dracula on video but had not watched it until last Saturday when the usual rubbish was on TV.
Having watched a few of the Hammer House of Horror versions of Dracula I was expecting the usual Vampire movie. I was wrong.
This film is a delight to see, and I will now have to read the book.
This film is taught with an interesting way of showing you what Dracula was, is and perhaps will always be.
Gary Oldman is superb as Dracula and plays the part with a wicked twist.
The rest of the cast are equally brilliant with Anthony Hopkins playing a superb Van Helsing.
This is a film full of character, feel and suspense. If you are like me wanting more from a Dracula film, watch this. If you like the Hammer style, watch this to see what should have been done before they destroyed the story. An excellent, very watchable film that will leave you with a better idea of the power of love, perhaps from the grave.
