Synopsis
BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA is based on Bram Stoker's classic novel of the same name. A young lawyer (Jonathan Harker) is assigned to a gloomy village in the mists of Eastern Europe. He is captured and imprisoned by the undead vampire Dracula, who travels to London, inspired by a photograph of Harker's betrothed, Mina Murray. In Britain, Dracula begins a reign of seduction and terror, draining the life from Mina's closest friend, Lucy Westenra. Lucy's friends gather together to try to drive Dracula away.

In BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA Francis Ford Coppola returns to the original Dracula myth with an all-star cast including Anthony Hopkins (recently seen in the thriller Fracture), Wynona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Cary Elwes (appearing in the new thriller The Alphabet Killer) and Gary Oldman, who delivers an astonishingly sinister and tragic performance as the blood-lusting title character. The screenplay is written by James V. Hart.

[Gonzo]

The only reason I don't own this yet is because it's been barebones.

[Giga Power]

I absolutely love this movie. I own the original dvd, and I shall own this one.

Day one.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

I thought this movie should have been a lot better than it was. With all those names attached it seemed the sum did not equal its parts.
Still, I'm gay for Gary Oldman, so I may pick this up.

[Zac]

Yet another movie I've been waiting years to buy on DVD because theres only been a bare bones version released. Its the first time in a while that I'll be actually buying rather than renting a few DVDs again.

[Grave]

I will buy this for Blu-ray Winona Ryder running down the stairs. That's the only good part of the movie, but it's a very good part.
