Charles L Dracula gets the BBC Masterpiece Theatre treatment. A really excellent adaptation! It has it's flaws - it was shot on video tape so the picture quality is poor, and special effects shots consist mainly of garishly colored negative images. But story is everything, and it really shines in that department. It's closer to the book than most versions, and includes many bits that are usually left out. Jordan is used sparingly, but he makes a cold, cruel and intelligent Dracula. Renfield and Van Helsing (Frank Finley) are both excellent. (On the other hand, the English actor playing Quincy has a laugh-out-loud bad "Texas accent.") It's low-tech and soft looking, but truly chilling and even disturbing in parts. For story and atmosphere, I would rank this among the very best adaptations of Dracula. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Tamara K I adore the film. As far as I am concerned Louis Jordan, with Frank Langella a close second, is the best Dracula ever Aso, this version is the closest to Stoker's original. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review babarizam D Very british and one can sense the touch of Agatha Christi as well Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review austin v Easily the most accurate filmed version of Dracula, despite the rather awful made-for-TV production values. The reason is simple: it not only tries to stay true to the novel, but takes the time to flesh out the characters and advance the plot. Sadly it looks exactly how you might expect an old BBC show to look. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
