Dionar Hidalgo Algo Más Que Cine Luc Besson’s Dracula: A Love Tale reimagines the vampire myth as a tragic romance, elevated by Caleb Landry Jones’ haunting performance and Danny Elfman’s score—a bold, heartfelt take on an immortal story. Rated: 7/10 Aug 16, 2025 Full Review Hernán Ferreirós La Nación (Argentina) Luc Besson ’s new film, Dracula, looks exactly like a mockbuster of Francis Ford Coppola’s eponymous film, except it comes 33 years later, and there’s no obvious benefit to such imitation.

Christina X The actors were good, that cinematography was good, however it didn't bring anything new to the story. Bram Stoker never had a love story, in the book you really wanted Dracula dead because he was a beast. Coppola gave the love story insight, It wasn't true to the book but it was something fresh, and he did impeccable job. ( So no need to reboot it) Now Besson did something like Coppola only weaker, because the story was more rushed and the plot poorer. The actors save what they can by their acting, especially mr Jones- the other don't have many lines. It wasn't bad, but we could live without it. Honestly he could do something new with Dracula,even with the love story in it.A prequel, a could have been, I don't know. Even a story with reincarnations without vampires. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Isabella L A very romantic spin on “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” from 1992. If you loved that movie, but missed more romance - this is the movie for you! The new Dracula movie has more yearning, and more of an emotional connection between Dracula and Mina/Elisabeta. Absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful 🖤 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review natasha M This movie brings such a nostalgic feeling to the screen. Depicting a classic fairy tale with mythical cinematography, whimsical costume design & a gut wrenching story line, Caleb JL, Christoph W, Zoe B & Maria DA’s performances were absolutely phenomenal! A love tale grappling with loss of love & faith, this is easily one of the best films of 2025 ~ highly recommend Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Gabriella D What can I say… this film was absolutely breathtaking. From the powerful performances to the stunning visuals, everything felt mesmerizing. What stood out most to me was how Luc Besson drew the audience directly into Dracula’s emotions. You could feel the joy and pure love between Dracula and Elizabetha, the heartbreak of his loss, and the deep longing that carried him through to their reunion. I found myself truly moved—the emotion was so raw and genuine that it stayed with me long after the credits rolled. I cannot wait to watch this film again when it releases in the United States. Thank you, Luc, Caleb, Zoë, and the entire team for creating something so undeniably grand. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Luana M The movie was awesome until the end. Why does Conde Dracula kills himself "to save Elisabeta"? It makes no sense!!! They were supposed to be together FOREVER 😭 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Isabel S the enphasis this movie has is great and refreshing to a long time see as "evil character", this romantic side of the story brings a better taste to new audencies, the costume work is amazing and reamarkable, the script is well thought and the music takes you to the very time of the historic period. The only slip the movie has is the few changes made like the "gargols" and the strange use of CGI on the dining sequence. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
