Ethan A @RT55458601 2 days ago It's a good adaptation to the novel, unlike some of the other crap making him a hopeless romantic in today's genre of making Dracula. Yeah it's slow, however the soundtrack for this movie is my favorite makes it seem like it is mystery even tho the novel is a gothic horror mystery, read the novel and you see what i mean. I've been a fan of Sir Christopher Lee since 2005, and I have watched every film he was in and I knew he was the perfect dracula, he understood the source material. If want a book accurate movie adaptation of Dracula by Bram Stroker, II Conte Dracula (Count Dracula) is the way. Yeah Il Conte Dracula is the original title for this film which was made in France. I don't get why people hate this movie, it's copying the book. But if I was a director of a correct dracula film, I would recreate this movie but with gore and changing how dracula dies. See more
Tim M @tgmacman 6 days ago Not without its chilling moments, Count Dracula nevertheless lacks the filmmaking finesse to differentiate itself from numerous other adaptations. See more
Christopher R @RT33320041 Apr 14, 2025 This is a very good film and closer to Bram Stoker's novel than the Hammer version. Still not even close to being as good as the book, but there's a lot to recommend in this one, especially the actors who play Jonathan Harker, Van Helsing, Renfield, and the women. The cinematography is remarkable, and the set pieces and special effects are appropriately gothic. Most notably, Christopher Lee's interpretation of Dracula is excellent here. See more

andrew k @RT40967692 Jun 20, 2020 Maybe if you're used to the Hammer films you'd be more prone to rate this film lower. This isn't to say anything bad about those films, but as a fan of the book this movie is great. A very faithful adaption of one of the most iconic vampire stories ever. Christopher Lee played Dracula more times on screen, by far, than any other actor. I think this brief detour from the spectacle of his Hammer portrayal to play a more subdued and literarily accurate version of the character was very well done. See more
david f @dfulmer Dec 8, 2016 Soledad Miranda is the only reason to see this and her part is not large. Kind of cheesy but in many respects it's very faithful to the novel, unlike other adaptations. See more
