- Synopsis
- When a schooner is wrecked off Whitby the only survivor is Count Dracula who has arrived with large amounts of Transylvanian soil to take up residence in Carfax Abbey. He makes friends with Dr Seward who runs the local asylum and with his daughter Lucy, her friend Mina, and with Jonathan Harker, Lucy's solicitor fiance. But almost immediately, Mina dies from loss of blood, and just possibly this may not be a coincidence.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A handsome, moody rendition, more romantic than menacing."
-
"Virtually every big action scene is confusingly staged and clumsily edited. It is particularly sad to report that Olivier is terribly misused."
-
"From opening wolf howls through ominous, ambiguous concluding images, it sustains an exciting, witty, erotically compelling illusion of supernatural mystery and terror"
-
"Some interesting creative choices make this more a curio than a great film. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
-
"Langella offers the best interpretation of Stoker's villain since Christopher Lee (...) But the decision to create such a sympathetic vampire leaves the film short of suspense"
