For as bizarre as this movie is I don't think that same visual style is in any other movie or at least used to such effect.

Frankenstein, similar timeline also 90s movie, DeNiro to play monster

Pure kino. The closest youll find are the Hammer films from the 60s and 70s.

god i am still in love with her

Is it just me, or do people generally consider Frankenstein better than Dracula? I’ve seen both the original stories and the adaptations from each era consistently ranked with Frankenstein higher than Dracula.

Personally, I’ve always found Dracula to be the much more entertaining story.

Sleepy Hollow has a somewhat similar aesthetic. So does Brotherhood of the Wolf, which I get the feeling was sort of inspired by Sleepy Hollow. I guess the Wolfman with Benicio Del Toro had a similar look in Victorian England, but that film was fucking awful.

Hollywood doesn't make many gothic horror movies anymore. They want every horror movie to be modern because they're stupid.

well, as much as I love Dracula, Frankenstein was a much more coherent story.

Dracula is missing some scenes and they were really sloppily edited over to replace the missing footage, especially the scene where Dracula is on the boat going to London and becomes a wolf. The first time I saw the movie, I thought there was a completely unrelated werewolf in the story all of the sudden.

Watched this the other day and this part had my sides in orbit.

Found it to be a faithful adaptation of the book, but on my mind this doesn't always make a good movie. I found a lot of Dracula works better as a book, with the reader visualizing the events in their own mind, than put on screen or on stage.

Having said that, there were a lot of visuals I enjoyed in the movie (the scene at the beginning for the battle with the Turks, I loved the way that was shot and the whole look of it) but on the whole I think this film is rather flawed. Keanu is dreadful, Winona is simply okay, and Hopkins and Oldman elevate it above what would be mediocrity.

I can't call it great, but I can't disparage it too much either. It's weird in that regard, can't think of another movie off the top of my head that I have such a hard time quantifying.

Definitely worth a watch. I'll have to give Frankenstein a go next.

>woah that totally gnarly Dracula dude wants to suck my blood. Bogus

This unironically

if it were not for Keanu and Winona, it would easily be my pick for best Dracula adaptation

and you're right, there's really not much else wrong with it

but the few things that are wrong with are MAJOR FUCKING PARTS OF IT

to be honest prefer Frankenstein as storywise too
Dracula is just some scary-mare vampire shit, while Frank is kinda universal and soon-to-be related to our technology and AI creations.
Also Dracula (novel) writing is so hard and 'documentary' that it's really painfull to read. Frank is bit easier take

I like the Frankenstein novel more, but I find Dracula movie adaptations more entertaining. Frankenstein has proven to be difficult to adapt.

>still waiting on a faithful adaptation of the Frankenstein novel.

Gary is unequivocally the best Dracula even doubly so because so much was against him in this movie, having to act with both Keanu and Winona and costume design that turned him into an old grandma in pajamas, he really went above and beyond.

I agree in terms of the best Dracula adaptation, but for me this is hollow praise. Like I said, I just don't feel that the source material lends itself well to a film or play format. I think you could do something within the world of Dracula (I saw a play that did some fun things with Quincy surviving and becoming a vampire himself) but the novel itself is simply not written in a way that allows a great film.

I think people like the world and atmosphere of Dracula more than they like the story.

the set designs and atmosphere for this movie are incredible. Easily some of the best in any movie ever. But the story and characters are were this movie fall apart. Such a shame. It feels like such a waste, because had this film been really good it would have went down in a huge cult classic.

this movie to me feels like a quintessential 90's movie. it kind of embodies a lot of the popular horror stuff at the time. I don't know how to explain it. I can't see this movie being made in any other era.

none exist I'm afraid user

We can dream.

The one with Deniro is seriously the closest, the big problem with Frankenstein is that in the book it's entirely vague how he created the monster. That works in a book but in a movie it's a gigantic blank space where a now famous scene should be.
