Plot:
After a harrowing ride through the Carpathian mountains in eastern Europe, Renfield enters castle Dracula to finalize the transferal of Carfax Abbey in London to Count Dracula, who is in actuality a vampire. Renfield is drugged by the eerily hypnotic count, and turned into one of his thralls, protecting him during his sea voyage to London. After sucking the blood and turning the young Lucy Weston into a vampire, Dracula turns his attention to her friend Mina Seward, daughter of Dr. Seward who then calls in a specialist, Dr. Van Helsing, to diagnose the sudden deterioration of Mina's health. Van Helsing, realizing that Dracula is indeed a vampire, tries to prepare Mina's fiance, John Harker, and Dr. Seward for what is to come and the measures that will have to be taken to prevent Mina from
becoming one of the undead.
Acting:
The acting is unorthodox.
Bela delivers a strong performance as the count,its unbelievable i never saw this film earlier,Bela Lugosi IS DRACULA,,the charm,and facial expression would send shivers down your spin,,its that intimidating.
As for the rest of the cast,the acting was great Dwight Frye as renfield gives a believable performance..
And i loved Mina's character, Helen Chandler was a hottie (rip)
I'm pretty sure Mr Bela took her out for some tea after the daily shoot..lol
Gore:
None really,its a black and white film.
It worked with only the score and Atmosphere of the film.
T&A
None,its 1931 folks,that kind of thing was forbidden back in those days,so no tit no ass.
Bottom line
This is coming straight from the heart of a horror fan...i'm 26 years old and i never was interested in seeing this film,,can you believe that,it took 26 years and a very special message board by the name of CLAD to get me to see the light,when i first saw the DVD menus i KNEW i was in for a Wednesday night treat,,and to my surprise ,MY WIFE LOVED IT.
I felt like a new born exploring new territory,,or like frank from hell raiser,opening the box and experiencing extreme pleasure.
Bela Has found a new Fan,,even in death the man delivers.
I have explored the dark corridors and i have found the solution
10/10
