Critics Consensus: Despite an occasionally imbalanced mix of romance and overly grotesque scares, Dracula offers chilling atmosphere in spades and a seductively enigmatic turn from Frank Langella as the legendary vampire.

Reviews

Bay Area Reporter

Michael Lasky

Dracula is an exceptionally long-winded enterprise which has been overproduced and overacted. None of the charms of the stage play remain, and even the ostensibly sexiness of Frank Langella's Dracula has dried up.

Langella delivers a subtle, almost balletic performance whose mesmerizing precision makes much of the rest of the film look pretty overwrought.

David Denby

This howling dog of a movie is often incoherent... the movie is cheesy on a grand scale.

LA Weekly/Village Voice

Robert Bentley

[John Badham] takes the film from snores to shrieks and back again in a matter of minutes. Classic material and some talented people can't be totally deadened by a director's thickheadedness.

The myth has received a witty turn that would give Bram Stoker nightmares.
