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.

Jay Carr

Boston Globe

This Dracula is only eyeball-deep, a series of opulent sensory jolts, drained of real emotion; in effect, it's a two-hour trailer for a film that never arrives.

Los Angeles Times

No matter what else you do with it, a Dracula that cannot manage to be more scary than silly is as pitilessly doomed as that elegant old Transylvanian himself.

Philadelphia Inquirer

Truly, there is too much going on here, and the results are exhausting. At the same time, the film's very busyness is part of Dracula's undeniable charm. If there is glory in excess, Coppola's movie is glorious.

Rated: 3/4

Alternate Ending

No matter how grinding and dull the story gets, we are, genuinely, never more than about 45 seconds away from some eye-popping visual.

Rated: 3.5/5

To put it simply, Bram Stoker’s Dracula has a bad case of style over substance.

Like the powers of the mythical creatures, the film occasionally ignores logic, instead emphasizing emotion and the instinctual impressions that the stunning visuals bring out in the audience. It’s impossible not to give in to its charms.

Rated: 9/10

I Love everything about this movie. It was one of the first horror movies I had ever seen and will forever be my number one. So happy to have been able to watch it in a theatre!

Loved the costumes, sets and special effects. The story was a tad bit confusing at times and it feels like there may have been story elements left on the cutting room floor. Overall, a great experience and a good addition to Dracula lore.

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.

Greetings from Lithuania. "Dracula" (1992) for me never was a true or ultimate adaptation of a novel. I never really got into this movie, and i saw it like three times in my life. I was thinking like, maybe i haven't seen here something that many saw as this film is considered very good. What i do like about Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula" are costumes, set design, make up, and some individual scenes. But the movie as the whole does not work for me. It lacks good work from director. Coppola had a vision here, but it never really translated into a good movie. It is over-acted film, were style is over the substance. It has pacing issues, and many disjointed scenes. Some of them are kinda bad actually. Overall, "Dracula" (1992) is a not a good film in my opinion. Its style is good, production values are top notch, but its a very disjointed film. The weakest part of it was in its direction. This is a very disappointing film for me.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
