It's high time this move / video had a review!

I stumbled across this ditty of Amazon Prime on a day I was working from home. First of all, let me say that as long as you take this film for what it is (or seems to be)- a piece of Am Dram on video, not really a movie with any real preventions towards professionalism, it makes it very enjoyable, and worth two and a half hours of your time (particularly if you're also doing some sort of mundane manual task at the same time).

First the bad bits: The film has some dubious performances and accents. Is this meant to be Britain? It has no sense of pacing or place and the soundtrack, while sometimes effective is often misjudged. The solo violinist need taking out and - well, given a few more lessons, to be honest.

BUT the script is the most faithful to Stoker's original I can think of, despite the rather clunky references to cellphones and laptops. Once I got used to the chunks of Stoker's rather ripe prose being spoken by the cast in a modern setting - quite Shakespearean, really - I found the whole thing rather charming.

OK, so some scene's are lifted from Bram Stoker's Dracula, and the final fight scene (hey, we know a girl who's a gymnast, let's chuck her in there and let her do some back flips for no apparent reason) is hilarious. The editing is well done, the make up and effects (fake blood gushes around like water) quite convincing considering the zero budget and the cast give everything. The two female leads are particularly engaging, and there one bizarre moment of frontal male nudity that will turn some heads.

The final problem is merely technical - filmed on standard video just prior (presumably)to the HD revolution, it feels like a period piece even though it's less than 10 years old. But that's part of the fun.

If you don't have Amazon Prime, catch this on youtube. I enjoyed it!

This is possibly one of the most adjective movies ever made. Stumbled across it while on a mission to watch every film adaptation of Dracula and, in spite of many, many things, this is undoubtedly the most faithful to the book. I imagine the budget for this was something like $12, but they make it work, in their own weird little way. The only way I can describe the vibe of this movie is by saying that Jonathan is taken to meet Dracula in a minivan with cheerful stock music playing. Also, Quincey is here, he's wearing stupid baggy pants shoved into his cowboy boots, he rarely takes off his cowboy hat, and he has a gun that he whips out every 5 seconds. What more could anybody ask for?

Anyway, overused phrase as it is, this is a must-watch for Dracula fans. I am so so serious. I think you can only watch it on Flixfling but it's worth it.

This is a remake of Dracula. It is has a great story line. It is very close to the book. 4.7 is a good ratting. But this such a great movie that 4.7 is underrating it. I give this movie 7. This movie has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is very scary. A lot better then The silences of the lambs. This is scarier the A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Interview with a vampire could ever be. Dracula with Gary Oldman is better. Dracula (1931) is also better. Still this a great movie. A lot better then Nosferatu (1979). This is a great movie. It is very scary. One of the scariest movies I have seen. If you like story of Dracula you should see this movie.
