Romantic vampire
Vampire movies suck - except this one. Frank Langella portrays a creature of the night with romantic inclinations and is better at it than your typical Manhattan blood sucking lawyer. But affection only goes so far when his thirst for blood arises. Origins of the character have been lost over the years, covered by black cloaks, gravestones, fangs and cobwebs. Langella brings it back with a subtle elegance that entrances the viewer as well as Kate Nelligan, who plays Lucy - Dracula's intended mate.
The movie is very good, but the transfer to blu-ray is inadequate to the task. It's really not much better than my DVD copy. Given that the visual aspect of the movie was shot in filtered shades of gray I had hoped for an improvement in clarity. The transfer didn't deliver. Interviews remain on the blu-ray as on the DVD and are a good plus when enjoying the movie. Bottom line here is that I recommend the movie to anyone who hasn't seen it or would like to see it again. Blu-ray is just as good as DVD, so you needn't worry about making a choice between the two.Read full review

DRACULA (1979)
As much as I'd like to give this film 5 stars, I can't. Even blu-ray can't help the weak story and bad acting....no matter how good Frank Langella is.
The video quality is moody (good) but I wish the sound was remastered to 5.1 (bad). Still, the 2.0 sound does a decent job as it works when Dolby Pro-Logic is applied.
Worth a purchase to complete your Dracula/vampire collection.Read full review

Sexy Vampire
I hadn't seen this movie since it first came out. It still holds up. This was the beginning of the sexy vampire, Frank Lagella has it in spades. Definitely a must see!

Oddbanana is selling Dracula with picture of Universal 1930's classic Dracula movie. Oddbanana is sending 1970's Dracula with Frank Langella.
Do not order Universal 1930's Dracula from oddbanana. You will receive 1970's Dracula with Frank Langella instead of the item pictured. Oddbanana has messed up the written description, and included information on BOTH films. My listing's written description closed with a quote from Roger Elbert about Lugosi's performance. You will not receive the movie with Bela Lugosi.Read full review

The original & the best version!
Bela Lugosi played him best! This is the real deal. It doesn't get any better than this! I love Coppola's version too, but that story is very different. This is perfect for Halloween. 🎃
