![]() ![]() ![]() Keanu Reeves, Gary Oldman (Bram Stoker’s Dracula, 1992) Dooming himself, he spends eternity demonically cursed in darkness until hundred of years later, he believes Elisabeta has been reincarnated as Mina, the fiancée of Jonathan Harker ( Keanu Reeves), his latest financial solicitor. If there is one strength that makes this film so memorable, it is how it looks.ĭirected by Francis Ford Coppola, Bram Stoker’s Dracula is essentially a horror film but is not marked by the standard tropes of that genre, instead feeling more like a tormented love story with lots of toothy bloodletting, as surely intended, as Dracula ( Gary Oldman) denounces God and his faith after his beloved Elisabeta ( Winona Ryder) commits suicide after falsely being told of her lover’s death in battle, knowing she is condemned to damnation. These effects help illustrate the strange and ethereal feel of the complex story, giving the film its fantastical tone and helping to create a fable-like atmosphere. Bram Stoker’s Dracula paints this tale with some beautifully impressive visual effects that are so well made, most believe they are computer-generated. The tragedy of the Dracula story is of course the love story behind it. A modest box office hit, it has become a cult favorite. A visionary masterpiece, it was hailed by critics for its production but faulted for some of its casting. Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a 1992 horror film following the origin story of the famous first vampire. ![]()
