LaserDisc Movie Review:
Before you ask "Why Dracula again?", we'll provide the answer: Because when Francis Ford Coppola is at his best, there's no one better. Adhering more faithfully to Bram Stoker's 1897 novel than any previous version (even unto repeating Stoker's shortcomings, such as lumpy continuity and long-winded exposition), Coppola and screenwriter James Victor Hart offered a full-blooded (no pun intended) portrait of the immortal Transylvanian vampire. The major departure from Stoker is one of motivation: Count Dracula (beautifully played by Gary Oldman) is motivated more by romance than by bloodlust: he punctures the necks as a means of avenging the death of his wife in the 15th century, and when he comes to London, it is specifically to meet heroine Mina Harker (Winona Ryder), the living image of his late wife (Ms. Ryder plays a dual role, as do several of her costars). Anthony Hopkins is obsession personified as vampire hunter Van Helsing; Keanu Reeves brings more to the role of Jonathan Harker than any previous actor; and Tom Waits out-Dwight Fryes Dwight Frye as bug-eating Renfield. The winner of three Academy Awards, Bram Stoker's Dracula lacked only the huge audience that would have made it the hit it deserved to be. --- Hal Erickson

One of the most commercially successful horror films of all time, Francis Ford Coppola's reinterpretation of the legendary vampire story isn't really a horror film at all. Despite a powerful opening sequence, amazing special effects, and a brief scene of a lycanthropic wolf-beast having sex, this version strips away most of the scares and sex in favor of romance. Rather than the powerful, feral sexuality of previous screen Draculas --- Christopher Lee comes to mind --- Gary Oldman's performance hinges on sadness, longing, and the memory of his murdered wife. Those familiar with horror archetypes might even argue that this is a mummy film in vampire's clothing. Critics were quick to praise Coppola for his faithfulness to Bram Stoker's novel, but, in re-creating its detail, he may have missed its essence: the vampire is not a romantic anti-hero, but a dark representation of sexual taboo. --- Robert Firsching
