Genres & Description

Action Horror Romance

6.5 / 10

When a ship is wrecked off Whitby, the only survivor, Count Dracula, is discovered lying on the beach by the sickly young Mina Van Helsing, who is visiting her dear friend Lucy Seward. Lucy, her fiancé Jonathan Harker (a solicitor), and her father Dr. Jack Seward (who runs the local asylum) try to make the Count feel welcome to England. The Count quickly takes the life of Mina, and proceeds to romance Lucy, with the intention of making her his greatest bride. Soon after the death of Mina, the Sewards call her father Dr. Abraham Van Helsing to come to their home. As Lucy falls deeper under the spell of the Count, Dr. Van Helsing almost immediately comes to understand that his daughter fell prey to a vampire and discovers the culprit to be none other than the Count himself. Dr. Van Helsing, Dr. Seward, and Harker work together to foil the Count's plans to take Lucy away to his native Transylvania.

You should have used the film's original score by John Williams. He deserves it. - @Tuesday, August 7, 2018 10:20 PM

I remember this as a kid !!!! I was about 12 when this came out . . . AND . . . I loved it. Frank Langella is a really good Dracula. Personally, I think that he is very FAITHGUL to Bram Stoler's version. The lizard walk down the castle is amazingly cool . - @Saturday, February 3, 2018 1:57 AM

In my opinion, this movie, along with Nosferatu (1979) are the best vampire movies ever. - @Monday, November 17, 2014 1:38 PM

Brilliant score, captivating. The outstanding comments on Amazon are interesting to read on the Blue Ray transfer/ just the original color that was not used to define this classic..director dialing down of the inferior sepia color of this movie magic. Enjoy the film in HD! Frank Langella did a Fantastic job as Count Dracula./ Charismatic with a mesmerizing cast to support in a "Stylish Gothic Film" of its time, being so much more received over the years. Which is such great news...a well deserved appraisal for all works achieve - @Friday, October 3, 2014 12:57 PM

#Dracula #FrankLangella On my opinion this movie cannot be compared with Coppola's. Frank Langella makes, according to some people, the best Dracula of all times and I agree. This movie has also great actors like Sir Lawrence Olivier and Donald Pleasence. But, most of all, if you want a movie faithful to Bram Stoker's book, this is the one. Coppola's movie is a mix of History, legend and the novel "Dracula", but one can't question Gary Oldman role. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_%281979_film%29 - @Wednesday, January 8, 2014 4:50 AM

I love everything about the 1979 "Dracula" -- the literate screenplay, the casting, the music, the sets. Frank Langella is mesmerizing, sympathy for the devil, not just scare-the-kiddies fangs and gore. - @Wednesday, November 30, 2011 4:11 PM
