What on earth was the BBC thinking? This is bad bad bad. Pretentious camera work, poor location shooting (No Transyilvania!) & without exception everyone overacts. Lording it up to the point of parody.
SPOILER ALERT:- Lord Holmwood suffers from syphilis and with the help of a black magic group, instigates Count Dracula's journey to England. To cure the ailing lord with some blood magic, so he can bed his bride,Lucy Westenra. What complete boXXXXks! Of all the adaptations out there, this is easily the worst! I send my heartfelt sympathy to the Bram Stoker estate. Harcourt, you should be ashamed... PART OF HARCOURT'S PRESS RELEASE:- "This is my personal take on the classic Bram Stoker novel. And I hope its scenes of sex, horror and disease will blow the cobwebs off traditional period drama, and provide a classic literary chiller perfect for a dark winter night."
CLASSIC LITERARY CHILLER. Dillusions of Grandeur... A pretentious attempt at re-writing a LEGEND that is BRAM STOKER'S Dracula...No one else comes close, so please stop trying!
