Just started watcning this as i heard it was the closest to the book. But Mina and Lucy are sisters? 

[ashemaria16]

Yes yes yes! can't wait to watch this. I hear it's a great version

[Medusa7700Siren]

I think the guy playing Johnathan is the same one who played Edward in my favorite version of Sense and Sensibility! ;D

It's strange, Jonathan Harker is living in the 1800s, but his hair seems to be living in the 1970s

fantastic film, thanks so much for posting- Jourdan is the perfect Count Dracula, I've loved this since first seeing it on public television back when it was released in the 70's-many thanks1

[Fartacus1]

Nice. I like the way the "music" to the opening credits is nothing more than hard wind and thunder.

[AlliyaandRaza]

copolla's version was a joke. this is much better

[sheilarph]

This is the best treatment of Bram Stoker's Dracula I have ever seen.

[crownprincetaffe]

wish they had Dracula as an old man with white hair as he is at the start of the Stoker novel but apart from that it's not the worst adoptation i've seen.
