No matter how many times the tale of Dracula is adapted, Coppola’s will always be remembered. Still, with all the gory effects and imaginative interludes on offer, BRAM STOKERS Dracula is a film that its hard to dislike.

They give dejected, dispirited and artificial performances, which isnt great. While the movie has now been out for over 25 years, the vampire genre continues to develop with new movies constantly coming out about the blood-sucking creatures. But two of the main parts are given to Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, and its clear from the outset that their hearts arent really in it. The film starred Gary Oldman as Dracula, with Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, and Keanu Reeves filling out the rest of the main cast.Ĭoppola’s take on Dracula was and still is one of the closest adaptations viewers have seen of Stoker’s novel. While these two movies are both important to the history of cinema in their own ways, Francis Ford Coppola added his own spin on the vampire genre by directing Bram Stoker’s Dracula in 1992. Prince Vlad Dracula Winona Ryder Mina Murray, Elisabeta Anthony Hopkins Professor Abraham Van Helsing, Chesare Keanu Reeves Jonathan Harker Richard E. Murnau’s Nosferatu starring Max Schreck and Tod Browning's Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Some of the most popular movie adaptations of Stoker’s book would be F.W. (Keanu Reeves notwithstanding), and Wojciech Kilars haunting score all helped elevate an already terrific screenplay into a gorgeously phantasmagoric horror experience. I recall seeing it in theaters the day it opened in November of 1992. Dracula has since been adapted on several occasions by filmmakers and thus the Count has received a special place in the history of the horror genre. Celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary this year.
