A Quality, Intellectual, Immersive Dracula, 24 May 2005
7/10
Author: tabuno from utah

This version of Dracula uses authentic location and the people of Romania to the best effect in this quality, independent production. With a sincerity and viciousness, Dracula is portrayed in historic terms without a soul or humanity. The acting is honest and mostly pure. With a limited budget, the special effects at times are a distraction while the music, however, resonates and merges with the mystical tension that surrounds this movie. At times, the dialogue and the characters tend to shade into stereotypical two-dimensions but only bits. Overall, this movie is superior to most flat attempts to recreate the Dracula mystique. Vlad has successfully caught the images, the historical context, the seductive power and vibrant horror/attraction of an age that appears in the present. This is an enjoyable, informative, and powerful movie that didn't quite have the resources to carry off a great movie. Seven out of Ten Stars.
