Dracula was a 1992 film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It, like many other “Dracula” centered films, was based on the 1897 novel which bears the same name. Dracula is a somewhat more complex film than the others that I reviewed. The film is essentially focused around a lawyer and his family. The Dracula obviously also dominates the screen both in terms of presence and in terms of actual screen time. The film was set in the late 1800s, though there are scenes from much earlier, as far back as the 1400s.
This movie is very graphic. In fact, it’s mostly just bloody and is filled with sex scenes that I frankly find to be unnecessary and do not add any depth to the story. The film tells the very long and specific story of Dracula’s life. The film is not without its special effects. In fact, Dracula turns himself into several different types of creatures multiple times. All in all, I don’t think that this film was very influential, though it does have a few good merits.
