Argento's Dracula - BLU-RAY 3-D [Blu-ray 3D]

Horror maestro Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA) puts his unique stylistic spin on the classic supernatural tale with DRACULA, a visually sumptuous retelling of the legendary myth. It's been 400 years since Count Dracula's (Thomas Kretschmann, WANTED) beloved Dolingen de Gratz passed away, leaving the immortal bloodsucker forever abandoned. But when he discovers that local newlywed Mina Harker (Marta Gastini, THE RITE) bears a striking resemblance to Dolingen, his furious yearning is reawakened as he believes Mina to be a reincarnation of his beloved. Luring her husband Jonathan away to his castle with the help of his minion (and Minas best friend) Lucy (Asia Argento, XXX), Dracula embarks on a bloody quest to reunite with his long lost love and live forever with her in hellish immortality. Only the arrival of vampire expert Abraham Van Helsing (Rutger Hauer, BLADE RUNNER) can put an end to the fiend's unholy plan. Luridly violent and brimming with passionate eroticism, Dario Argento's DRACULA is an all-out assault on the senses from one of horror cinema's most celebrated authors.

An elegantly seen Dracula... all shadows and blood and vapors and Frank Langella stalking through with the grace of a cat. The film is a triumph of performance, art direction and mood... - Roger Ebert Throughout history, Dracula has filled the hearts of men with fear and the hearts of women with desire. In this stylish production of Bram Stoker's classic Gothic horror tale, Frank Langella, reprises his electrifying, award-winning stage performance as the bloodthirsty Count Dracula as he goes in search of his ultimate bride. Meanwhile, the renowned and relentless vampire hunter, Professor Van Helsing (Sir Laurence Olivier), seeks to end the dark prince's reign of terror over the citizens of Transylvania. Featuring an all-star cast, fine direction and a superbly atmospheric score by the great John Williams, Dracula is an unforgettable adaptation of one of the most enduring horror legends of all time.

Bram Stoker's bloodsucker legend is updated to contemporary times, as Professor Van Helsing and his assistant try to track down the ages-old Count, freed after a century of captivity and rejuvenated after leaving a slew of victims in his path. Their search takes them to America, where Dracula seeks to avenge himself by claiming Van Helsing's estranged daughter. Christopher Plummer, Jonny Lee Miller, Justine Waddell, Jeri Ryan and Gerard Butler star. 99 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack English.
