A TRUE MASTERPIECE!!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 1999)

The best horror movie of the nineties, a masterpiece created by Francis Ford Coppola and J.V.Hart, based on Bram Stoker's homonym novel. This movie has everything: mystery, romance, black humour, sex, beautiful women, death, literature, religion, history, controversy, screams, blood, costumes, special effects,make up, gorgeous places, scary sound track, great and mesmerising epoque reconstruction, social drama and even is a very terrifying one. With excellent performances by Anthony Hopkins, Sadie Frost, a non exaggerated but multifacetic Gary Oldman as the torturated count (where is your oscar?) , and a never more neurotic Winona Ryder in her first "19 century" movie as Dracula's victim I think that Ms Ryder is the center of the movie and has the most difficult character, and she play terrible well this innocent and victorian girl, with her charisma and that beautiful brown eyes movement that only she can do, and of course her beautiful dark hair, who remembers me other heavenly actress of the glory past such as A.Herpurn, N.Wood, O.Hussey and I.Adjani. Also good performances by K.Reeves, C.Elwes and R.E.Grant. Dracula was the first and best big horror gothic production of all the United States filmography history. The others like "Interview with the vampire" and even the "Mommy" there were not as inspired, romantic, clever and of course terrifying as this cult movie. It is my favourite movie
