In the world of video games, the interactivity and longevity of the player's time are key, leaving the 'Death Is Cheap' trope to be put to the test. So many of our favorite characters have died, due in part to the recent trend of 'got 'em!' snags, that many have grown tired of death. At its worst, it's made to seem cheap and unappealing.
Because of this, death is often a central theme in fictional works. After all, what's not to love/hate about vicariously living someone else's death? Put together right, it can tug the heartstrings of even the most veteran players. It's such an emotional subject, and quite a human topic. The rich presentation and loyalty to the source material makes for a very enjoyable story even if it isn't really what we'd see now as a horror.Death. Despite this the film is actually very enjoyable even if it is a bit too respectful and long occasionally making it feel a little heavy going. From the start his accent is horrid, but his inability to bring out emotions and character basically kills his character off before the film has even got going. Hopkins is quite fun to watch and the three suitors (including Ewles and Grant) very much play stiff upper lipped straight men! Of course of their performances tower with majesty above the sheer miscast ineptitude of Reeves. Likewise Rider is not totally convincing. Oldman is good when compared to the better known image of the `Bela Lagosi' Dracula, but I did still find him a little too hammy at times.
The cast suffer from a bit too much respect for the material, some of their performances are a little too hammy and heavy. It's not really scary, but I didn't need it to be, I was more interested in the overall story, and that worked well.

Meanwhile Coppola works well with shadows and images in the backgrounds to make the film have the feel of an old silent movie version (eyes in the storm) but with modern standards. Visually the film is great rich colours in the scenery and costumes really bring the goth out of the film.
However, for the most part the gothic telling works very well and feels very lavish and rich. The story is told with a real respect for the source, perhaps a little too much as it can be a little to heavy and lacking in spark at times. Here the basic plot follows the tale from the creation of Dracula, his love and his confrontation with Van Helsing and the various suitors of the lovely Lucy. Although a little too long for my liking, this film is a very rich gothic telling of a story that has become watered down slightly with the many different versions of stories with the characters. Her various suitors try to help her and call for Professor Van Helsing to come and help they realise that this is not a simple battle against a disease of the blood. Meanwhile, Dracula travels to London where he feeds on the lovely Lucy Westenra. When his first consultant goes mad, Jonathon Harker is sent to Dracula in his place, only to find himself trapped in the castle. Opening with his vow to rise from his grave and take revenge on a God who allowed his beloved to die while he defended Him on the battlefield, we see Count Dracula in the 1890's, conducting business with a London firm.
