This was the first Horror film I ever watched...aged about 8, it was on TV double billed with Boris Karloff's Frankenstien. Bela Legosi's 1931 version of this well known Vampire tale, is still a pleasure to watch. No horror or fright's by today's standards,at times almost humourous, but the film carries a mystical quality, that never seems to fade. The atmopsheric sets, and wonderful black and white imagery,are a delight to revisit, all these years later. Modern film could never reproduce, such a film, and nobody could ever portray the Count in the way Lugosi did. Lugosi was Dracula, he was buried in his cape, such was his loving embrace of Bram Stoker's blood craving creature. Crackly, vintage horror in black & white....Crack open a bottle of wine (red of course and enjoy.....
Immediately, Dracula tries to distinguish itself by flip-flopping the roles of hero and villain. Instead of a local yokel sent to destroy the titular vampire, you play Drac's daughter, Eve. Eve's been tasked with reassembling her father's body so he may rise again. Naturally, playing as a vampire is infinitely cooler than being the good guy. Eidos realized this with Legacy of Kain and Majesco got in on the sexy vampire act with Bloodrayne. Eve is a compelling character, in her own right -- even if the visuals blah-ness prevents you from developing any sort of relationship with her. It's just cool that you're a vampire chick going around, busting jugulars while sealing humanity's doom. You've been turned loose in a castle -- a big one. Like any classic platformer, you must run from left to right, jumping over gaps. There are plenty of enemies in the towering castle, too. Amateur Van Helsing's are everywhere, throwing stakes at you. Now, if you find a cache of stakes, you can return fire. But a real vampire doesn't puncture the living with sharpened wood -- she does it with her teeth. When you are low on health, approach a human and press the "5" key to lunch on the main vein. (Not that main vein, perv.) You can also turn into a bat (a power granted by special tokens) and fly around the castle for a limited time -- particularly helpful for crossing large chasms. Now, Dracula's control kinda leaves something to be desired. Sure the running around is handled fine, but the jumping, well, sucks. It is abnormally float-y, even for a weightless vampire lady. You can use the hover time to cross gaps, but the catch is, the transition from up to over is too iffy. Visually, Dracula isn't as sexy as Mforma wants its anti-heroine to be. The brick wall castle is so "same-y" everywhere you look. The character sprites are decent-sized, though -- which certainly helps. The bloodsucking animations are cool, too. Closing Comments Dracula is a solid, competent platformer for your handset, and Mforma deserves applause (and downloads) for at least trying to do something a little extra than just pumping out a me-too action game. The vampires angle, coupled with the ability to turn into a bat and suck blood, makes for a compelling game. It's no Castlevania, but then again, your phone is no GBA.Read full review
A truly gripping and atmospheric cinematic delight based upon the original stage production. Bela Lugosi's performance became the model for all who followed, personified by his guttural Hungarian accent. Gothic, disturbing and yet totally engaging, there is no better rendition of Dracula, for allowing one to to see a little - or alot - inside Bram Stoker's mind.
