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.

Next Best Picture

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

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.

Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, despite some undeniable missteps—chief among them the distracting casting of Keanu Reeves—remains a masterwork of gothic cinema. Its lavish production design, stunning cinematography, and powerful performances (outside of the aforementioned) create an atmosphere of dread and romance that is rarely matched. There is no denying its enduring legacy, one which continues to echo through time, influencing countless vampire tales and cementing its place as a definitive adaptation of the classic novel.
