This movie one of my favorite Dracula movie of all time.

John Badham's version of the vampire legend is truly a forgotten gem. Forget today's silly and over-saturated cgi effects. This one comes to life under Langella's seductive and romanticized portrayal, Olivier's quiet but assured and knowledgable Van Helsing, and John William's lush orchestrations of strings and brass.

Faithful to the 1931 classic. Langella and Olivier are excellent as adversaries. The only time the movie becomes silly is in the end when the count becomes a kite and flies over the ocean.

This is a great adaption of the original Bram Stoker's Book that was first made into a Broadway paly and then adapted to the screen with Frank Langella the original Broadway star.

I already owned a dvd copy of it, but it had no subtitles so I decided to go with the blu ray. The blu ray had subtitles plus the video transfer is great. Great sound as well. Always fast delivery with amazon. Highly recommend.

The original production was in color, vibrant color. Universal sucked it out. Before you watch it, jack up your color settings on the TV and blu player. Good quality.

If you like Dracula movies, this is the one to see. Frank Langella does an excellent performance.

I saw the play with Frank Langella on Broadway. The movie is just as good if not better.

Its that time of year for this movie .Its a scary Halloween picture . My favorite.

Exactly as advertised. In excellent condition. Shipped and received quickly.

Not as scary as my husband remembers from when he was a small child, but, still a good movie!

Excellent movie! Frank Lengella plays an awesome Dracula

I love this version of Dracula. I am so glad that I found it on Blu-ray with the extras.

Absolutely Great! Highly Recommended. Get it Now!!

Not sure if it's just nostalgia, but I enjoyed revisiting Frank Langella's Dracula. Younger horror fans should probably approach this one with caution.

Frank Langella's Count Dracula is truly a graceful dashing elegant early 20th century nobleman. He thoroughly enjoys a dinner, given in his honor, by his neighbor Dr. Jack Seward (Donald Pleasence). Later, you see the joy in his face as he waltzes with Seward's daughter Lucy (Kate Nelligan), who becomes his true love. He takes great pleasure in doing a perfectly normal activity - dancing. We get to see and appreciate Count Dracula long before we see Dracula the vampire. Langella maintains this grace throughout the entire film. I found his romantic Dracula similar to Laurence Olivier's troubled nobleman Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. Olivier is magnificent as Abraham Van Helsing, who must kill Dracula in order to avenge the murder of his daughter Mina (Jan Francis). Like Langella as Dracula, Olivier plays Van Helsing as a complex nobleman. Van Helsing is tender, graceful, and genuinely compassionate, but he is steadfast and determined to avenge the death of Mina, no matter what the cost. Indeed, Langella and Olivier make this movie great, despite the many flaws in the plot. Despite this movie being a great romance as well as being a great horror film, I had some difficulty with some parts of the plot. Jonathan (Trevor Eve) keeps throwing propriety to the wind by wanting to see Lucy at odd hours, even though there are times when this is, by the English standards of the early 20th century, completely inappropriate. Equally inappropriate is the way Lucy keeps stringing Jonathan along, even though she is absolutely determined to run away with Dracula! After seeing this movie, I read Stoker's book for the first time and discovered that this version of Dracula makes many deviations from Stoker's classic novel, in which, interestingly, Jonathan is the hero! Nevertheless, I still consider this Dracula to be an excellent movie, due to Langella's and Olivier's finesse and the great cinematography. Overall, I found this Dracula to be an excellent film.

Loved this as akid but my taste, in movies has improved
