Bram Stoker's Dracula / Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

Francis Ford Coppola’s lush retelling of "the strangest passion the world has ever known" stars Gary Oldman as the undying Count searching for his long-lost love, Winona Ryder as a young woman who falls under Dracula’s spell, and Anthony Hopkins as vampire-hunting Van Helsing. Lavish sets and special effects propel this genuinely haunting horror film; with Keanu Reeves, Sadie Frost. 127 min. C/Rtg: R
