PLOT SUMMARY

Lawyer Jonathan Harker travels to a remote castle in Eastern Europe to meet his company's latest client, Count Dracula. But he is imprisoned by the Count and tormented by his trio of vampire brides while Dracula himself travels to London in search of Harker's fiance Mina Murray.

CAPSULE REVIEW

This lavish adaptation is perhaps epitomised by its bizarre reading of the character of Lucy Westenra ? like her, it's beautiful to look at but totally vacuous, a sprawling, expensive bimbo of a movie. Burdened with appalling acting, a script that constantly fails to deliver what it promises and a shocking misunderstanding of the source material, Bram Stoker's Dracula is a deceitful and irritating film made for people with no or little interest in horror. A wasted opportunity. (Full Review)
