I am so glad to see that this some times forgotten classic adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula has finally managed to make its way onto DVD. After growing up on the Hammer versions as a child my mother introduced me to this mainly british cast version of the story and in many ways this has stayed my favourite. The beautiful Frank Langella carries all the great attributes of his stage performance with him onto the big screen and gives an outstanding performance only re-inforced by the supporting cast. Never mind the Coppola version, if you are looking for the flamboyant extravagance of a stage production against the grittiness of a typical bristish costume drama than this is for you. Well worth a watch on too many levels to mention.

Absolutly brilliant film. A romance for sure, but still a horror with great atmosphere in the right time scale; not these remakes in modern times, they just don't work.
Frank Langella is excellent as is every other famous actor in the cast. Buy it.

I have seen this film a 100 times and I will see it 100 times more, Fantastic version of this tale of horror. Frank Langella is superb as the debonair but chilling Count Dracula. The Atmosphere is eerie, and the effects are spine chillingly brilliant. Well done to all involved..FABULOUS!

A film to get your teeth into
I saw this film some years ago and decided to currently buy it. Although some of it is a bit dated the main charachters are excellent and dracula is very seductive.

Frank Langella, the best film Dracula
Some weak supporting roles, but worth seeing above all for Frank Langella's Count. Short on blood and guts but strong on suave and quiet menace. Read more

This is the one. We had a Dracula Fest the other week, and this went back to back with Werner Herzog's bonkers but brilliant Nosferatu. Read more

The definitive version of the Dracula story

Miserable misfire

the Real McCoy
Like a lot of other psycho-sexually inadequate sickoes, I've had a pretty-much lifelong fascination with Vampires, so when this was released in 1979 I went along to see it. Read more
