Hannah H Oct 19 Louis Jourdan brings a much more seductive, sensual and charismatic Dracula than any other version of Dracula I have seen. While this feels different than how Dracula is written in the original text, this makes the film feel evocative, fresh - and thought provoking. See more A Z Dec 27 The production value is not great; it's a TV movie from 1977, but it's still the film I recommend to people for an adaptation that is closest to the original book. See more Charles L 09/17/2024 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. See more Tamara K 07/27/2024 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. See more babarizam D 05/22/2024 Very british and one can sense the touch of Agatha Christi as well See more austin v 04/18/2010 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. See more Read all reviews
