Overview

Based on Bram Stoker’s classic 1897 novel, this film from Francis Ford Coppola and screenwriter James Victor Hart offers a full-blooded portrait of the immortal Transylvanian vampire. The major departure from Stoker is one of motivation as Count Dracula (Gary Oldman) is motivated more by romance than by bloodlust. He punctures the necks as a means of avenging the death of his wife in the 15th century, and when he comes to London, it is specifically to meet heroine Mina Harker (Winona Ryder), the living image of his late wife.

Why See This Film

A regular feature on lists of the best vampire movies of all time, Coppola’s Bram Stoker's Dracula is renowned for reinvigorating the vampire genre in the same way that The Exorcist and The Shining enlivened horror. Oldman’s performance as Count Dracula is also counted among one of the greatest renditions of the character ever committed to screen, and it formed the key inspiration for Jemaine Clement’s character in What We Do in the Shadows.
