Featured review
Faithful to the novel, magnificently performed in every way. This mini-series showed how well a classic novel should be adapted. Coming only 2 years before Langella's performance, Louis Jordan showed how sexy a middle aged man can be in this role.
Thirty-five years after I first saw it, most of it sticks in my memory as the greatest adaptation of Bram Stoker's timeless novel. From the opening scenes as Jonathan Harker makes his way through the Carpathian Mountains to the final scenes as the heroes converge on the Count, this took the approach of being presented in a mini-series format to tell the long story that Bram Stoker conceived.
Lucy's slow transformation from dying waif to lusting vampire is the most memorable scene and may actually be too intense for some viewers.
Far better than Francis Ford Coppola's version of the early 90's. Definitely worth watching annually on Halloween.
