Critics Consensus

Buoyed by Caleb Landry Jones' haunting lead performance and Danny Elfman's lush score, Dracula reimagines the classic vampire myth as an emotionally charged gothic romance, yet its inconsistent tone holds it back from genre-defining greatness.

Here we are again, caught up in the never-ending slow-drip flood of cinematic Dracula mythology, now with Luc Besson’s wan, derivative, dutifully time-period-hopping, different-but-not-really-new take on the vampire legend.

C-

The cast’s deliveries on Besson’s punchlines are strong, and editor Lucas Fabiani keeps up his end of the deal when it comes to timing. But not even Jones isn’t funny or magnetic enough to sustain attention without the support of real suspense and allure.

2/4

The bloodsucking Count is back again, but this time in a strangely bloodless love story that even wickedly seductive fangboy Caleb Landry Jones can’t save from the cliché stockpile

Caleb Landry Jones pushes against the gothic archetype, [but this] Dracula is tonally inconsistent.

This is a version that emphasizes beauty more than darkness.

‘Dracula’ may fill in more of the Count's early details, but it can’t help but imitate Coppola’s portrayal of the character.

An interesting take on the Prince of Darkness, using clear inspiration from the Coppola film but also making much of it its own. A dark romance with one of literature’s best villains!

I really enjoyed it! I have no gripes or complaints. The costumes over the different time periods were very detailed and amazing, Landry Jones gave an amazing performance as Count Dracula, being the perfect blend of creepy and romantic. The women of this film were all gorgeous to look at! Danny Elfman‘s score of this film was flawless, as usual. I have been a fan of his since The Nightmare before Christmas. Perfect choice to compose music for this movie!
