I remember this movies box cover scared me as a kid. I thought it would be the scariest film ever. Then I finally rented it and it’s boring.
It's up there
No lol. Mina and Dracula original bullshit ruins the second half. Here are better adaptations:
>Nosferatu 1922
>Dracula 1931
>Nosferatu 1979
hm, weird, i didn't realize there was a herzog take on nosferatu. trailer looks good. i'll watch both i think.
holy shit i'm only 10 mins in and this sucks
>dracula want to buy a house
>ok i tell my wife...i must go...right away
>i am go away...
>no...you no go...i have bad premonition
horrible execution. why did you suggest this?
Sorry you're fricking plebs lmao. Frick the rats.
Herzog's Nosfertu is FRICKING SHIT
It pissed me off when I watched it, frick you.
It is also a horribly unfaithful adaptation of Dracula, if you are suggesting it is an adaptation of Dracula.
Also, Herzog maimed, tortured and killed a ton of mice in that film. It got so horrible the guy in charge of the mice left the film and wanted his name off of it.
i don't even give a shit about the mice but this is absolutely awful bar the atmosphere. i paused and took a shower but don't even want to hit the play button. shit blows
Herzog's movies in general are take it or leave it. I like it a lot.
iirc Herzog bought a bunch of mice for the film, and leading up to the time of filming the mice population exploded to more than what he originally intended.
This. It's a gorgeous production and the first part is excellent, but it totally perverts the spirit of the book.
>but it totally perverts the spirit of the book
Aside from making Dracula himself a more tragic/romantic character, I don't see how. It's still ultimately about a foreigner penetrating an English woman (to suck her blood but not only) thus defiling her, which is one of the major themes in Dracula, the fear of the other.
Coppola's take adds depth to Dracula but I think it was already there. There's 2 types of vampries in gothic literature and Dracula falls somewhere in between the monster and the aristocrat, so it's not innacurate.
The movie's sexuality is crass and totally at odds with the Victorian-era sensibilities of the novel.
The first half is incredible: Dracula in his castle, the succubus, Dracula transformed into a wolf fricking the redhead, etc.For me the movie falls when Dracula meets a rejuvenated Mina and this whole romance plot in London begins.Otherwise the film's production is beautiful.
This is why i didnt like this version of dracula. Way t0o many females.
Morrisey's Blood for Dracula is hilarious.
Great movie, really funny, but not exactly a proper adaptation of the novel and basically a big spoof so I didn't mention it. Way, way better than Dead and Loving It. Also a bit better than Flesh for Frankenstein.
Hah, no it is schlocky b-movie slop. Try Dario Argento’s Dracula, a work made by an actual artist.
Why did Coppola turn a rape revenge into a romance?
Coppola always came off fruity to me in interviews.
I had never thought about that. https://youtu.be/SKY6SDDtRKA?si=fnk1G0Rl5AnJ_4cr
He's not coming off as fruity but sensitive. You need to have an open mind as a director.
Might have just been the ascot he was wearing.
Not for me. It's not faithful to the book. Dracula from the book didn't turn evil because his waifu got killed. He was just a proud, evil being who did as he pleased. He didn't fall in love with Mina at any point. He actually bit her friend Lucy first before going after Mina.
No.
None of the characters motivations make any sense anymore because of the love story horseshit, plus Oldman Keanu and Winona all suck.
Manbat Dracula turning into rats was cool as frick.
>child murdering undead pervert goes to heaven with his girlfriend
Hollywood trash
Vlad was unironically a hero.
He had to become a monster to save his people.
Vlad was an ancient tryhard homosexual
Dracula, the vampire, wasn't Vlad.
Stoker just thought the name Dracula sounded cool, and had no plans to connect his monster with the Wallachian prince.
Actually there's a bit in the novel where Van Helsing implies Dracula is a descendant of Vlad. Not Vlad himself.
>noooo you can't just impale turks in defense of christendom
Do any other adaptations even try sticking (mostly) to the book?
Hi! My name is Doctor Acula and i'm going to suck...
Your blood!
No, this is
Is that your mom?
Dracula Untold.
There, I said it.
There was something i didnt like about it. I prefer the belegosi or christopher lee ones.
maybe the og beats it, but this is one of the top. neo drags it down with his awful performance
Dracula 2000
Third best behind Herzog's and Bella Lugosi's
Yes. My other favorite is Dracula 1979 with Frank Langella as the count.
Fricking witchcraft
