Review of Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) by Robertobrien — 12 Jul 2015

Visually stunning but creatively challenged, this adaptation of Dracula is a visual experience but an emotional snoozefest. The plot is not the focus point of the film, so anyone who is looking for a story that will immerse them and take them on a journey will be surely disappointed.

The film is backed by a good cast and good directing, but it's writing falls short. Its a feast for the eyes but not very stimulating it terms of plot. It's not terrible, just mediocre. I feel as though it doesn't take as much from the book as it should have. Also, Dracula's beehive hair, need I say more? But even with that, the art director for this film deserves an oscar, it looks beautiful.

The film is disappointing all around. But the visuals bring it up from a 4 to a 5.
