Critics Consensus

Overblown in the best sense of the word, Francis Ford Coppola's vision of Bram Stoker's Dracula rescues the character from decades of campy interpretations -- and features some terrific performances to boot.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

... Glorious and groundbreaking fantasy cinema, a film that retells the Dracula legend with buckets of visual style, and one that inaugurated a new way of conceptualising the vampire myth: loyal, loving, swaggering, soulful, sexy and hip.

Rated: 4/5

Budd Wilkins

Slant Magazine

In keeping with the operatic and overly histrionic approach to the material, the film’s performances are almost uniformly dialed up to 11.

Guardian

There’s nothing anaemic about this Dracula. But is it recognisably the work of the director who created The Godfather? Perhaps...

Rated: 4/5

Dayton Daily News

While the idea of Dracula done up by the man who gave us the first two Godfather movies is intriguing, the Coppola we get here is the director from One From the Heart; he likes the landscape, but not the population.

Rated: 2/4

Madeleine Harmsworth

Sunday Mirror (UK)

The film makes no sense, has little structure, substance or story and there is no one for the audience to identify with. So we are neither frightened or moved.

Rated: 2/5

Samantha Coley

Collider

A visual spectacle reminiscent of old Hollywood that evokes the best of gothic Victorian romance, and its influences are still seen on screen decades later.

I love this movie so much! It’s the best Dracula movie. A tragic love story - a love across time. Gary Oldman is amazing. Great cast with the exception of Keanu Reeves he sucks.

Aidan B

Far and away the best Dracula movie to date, "Bram Stoker's Dracula" is a standout film from one of the best directors of his generation, with some great performances from Oldman, Ryder, and Hopkins, gorgeous cinematography, and a memorable story. An absolutely great adaptation of a classic novel.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Mark B

A marvellous gothic masterpiece with a fabulous cast and brilliant dialogue. Literally a blood transfusion to the old Hammer interpretations. Most of all, a love story that crosses centuries. An absolute gem of a film. Anthony Hopkins is the best Van Helsing ever. Gary Oldman as the count is inspired. Musical scores, costumes and script enhance this film to great heights. Dracula encounters the mirror ‘a foul bauble of man's vanity'. Dracula encounters the crucifix ‘do not put your faith in such trinkets of deceit'. A brilliant, enchanting performance by all.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The color tones are extremely vibrant, which is an interesting concept for a 1992 film, it wasn't colorized. The story plot is slow and rather gory. Not my style of movie.
