Reviews

kennykip Interesting movie, loaded with little details that are easily missed if you are not paying very close attention to them. i was first introduced to Dracula while watching Abbott and Costello. it was funny to see that the original Dracula had reprises his role in the Abbott and Costello movie. the Dracula in this movie however is a little darker and truly encompasses the meaning of being a monster film.

jessicaa-26438 "Dracula" is a classic character in itself, Bela Lugosi's portrayal of this famous character will continue to be my favorites. This was truly a role he was born to play, the way he carries himself with such sophistication and completely memorizes his audience. The scenery was stunning and Dracula's castle was absolutely breathtaking, and made you get the vibe it was trying to give off. While the acting and scenery were fantastic, it was very slow, and I felt like most parts dragged more then others, and it personally made me lose interest very quickly. However overall, the film was pretty amazing. This film will continue to be a classic and put all the remakes to shame.

hayleygorman-43033 If there was to be a list of the most influential and well-loved films of all time, 1931's Dracula would very certainly be on it, if not near the very top. The main thing that sticks out in my mind is the atmosphere; the lack of music or background noise. Somehow, the lack of atmospheric sound makes for a wonderfully unnerving and creepy feeling. The acting is also well done, an oozingly charming but disconcerting Dracula and a manic and crazed Renfield, where much of the acting is expressed through the face, excellently portrayed in the latter. The lack of any actual blood or biting forces the terror to be explained verbally or seen through the characters and their actions, which actually heightens the experience of fearing the vampire man himself. A film that has lived on through history and seen countless retellings and reiterations, truly a film that has had and will have immense effect and influence over movies and for a long time.

zachdignum It absolutely holds up its reputation as not only being a horror classic but an overall Hollywood classic. While it is probably not a film for someone who is looking for "jump" scares it is very creepy and has a dark feel while watching. I also love the sharp contrast between the dark and light in these early Universal films, it adds to the creepiness of them. The tension throughout the film between Dracula and the Professor make it an exciting film to watch through its entirety.
