His over the top approach and iconic visual moments are amazing. Everyone else is fine, but its Gary Oldman that shines and makes this film work. He isn’t horrible, just out of place for me. I have always been a fan, but never thought he really fit in with this film. The cast are great with the only issue being Keanu Reeves. Coppola’s direction and going the old school approach give it that classic eerie vibe that is perfect for this story. The period piece and story are timeless and add everything it needs to make it work to bring the classic story to life. While I love the classic Universal Monster flicks this is easily my favorite Dracula based movie of all time. When the charismatic Dracula meets Mina, a young woman who appears as the reincarnation of his lost love, the two embark on a journey of romantic passion and horror. Grant, Anthony Hopkins, and Keanu Reeves.īram Stoker’s Dracula follows the classic and chilling tale about the devastatingly seductive Transylvanian prince who travels from Eastern Europe to 19th-century London in search of human love. In 1992 fresh off of The Godfather Part III, Coppola took on a different famed book with Bram Stoker’s Dracula that starred Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Cary Elwes, Tom Waits, Monica Bellucci, Richard E. Throughout his career director Francis Ford Coppola has brought the world so many cinematic masterpieces to the world including The Godfather trilogy and one of my all-time favorites The Outsiders.
