Description

Bela Lugosi stars as Dracula in the 1931 original screen version of Bram Stoker’s classic tale. Towering ominously among the shadows of the Carpathian Mountains, Castle Dracula strikes fear in the hearts of the Transylvanian villagers below. After a naive real estate agent succumbs to the will of Count Dracula, the two head to London where the vampire hopes to stroll among respectable society by day and search for potential victims by night. Directed by horror specialist Tod Browning, the film creates an eerie, chilling mood that has been rarely realized since and remains a masterpiece not only of the genre, but of all time.

  • Bad digital version of a great classic film

    This review is only addressing the streaming quality of this film, Dracula is a great film. Apple needs to pressure studios to update their classic films. I own the Blu-ray of this film and the image and sound are near perfect. The streaming version on Apple TV is terrible. Blurry image with hissing soundtrack. Universal needs to update its streaming version of its classic films.
  • Does this version include the Glass score

    I'm a big fan of this movie, especially withthe new Phillip Glass score. What I don't know is whether this print includes it as an option. Can one answer that? Assuming it does, I highly recommend it!

    Dracula is one of my favorite classic monster movies. Bela Lugosi, Dwight Frye & Edward Van Sloan are great in their roles. So why 4 stars? Cause honestly it's not the best Dracula movie. Shot in tandem with Dracula a Spanish version was filmed using the same sets. While Dracula filmed during the day "Spanish Dracula" filmed at night. Filming at night had its perks, they were able to watch the dailies from the day shoots and then be able to scene by scene better it by using better camera angle, better lighting and filming scenes that were only referenced in the others film. This made Spanish Dracula 30 minutes longer than the American counterpart and a more well rounded picture. The only thing that would have made it better would have been Lugosi, Frye & Van Sloan. So for the reasons mentioned above Spanish Dracula is the superior movie. Still as is Dracula is a classic and well worth the purchase. Now here's hoping iTunes adds Spanish Dracula.

    No one has ever played a vampire like Bela Lugosi. Though this film was produced in 1931, it is superior to any vampire films that have been made in recent times. What it lacks in over the top special effects it makes up with its haunting musical score, frightening castle, and moody atmosphere. And did I mention Bela Lugosi?
  • A True Classic!!!

    This film is a great example of German expressionistic camera work. It is also the first talking horror movie. It's a wonderful film and has aged well.

    Just rented it. Still Epic! This version does not have the soundtrack written by Philip Glass. The picture and sound are excellent! You can even hear the groaning sound Bela makes at the end.
  • To die, to be really dead; that must be glorious.

    Still the best Dracula ever - although Murnau's Nosferatu is spooky as hell. Dracula is no pretty boy - and Bela got it right. No surprise, considering he played the role on stage about 20,000 times. And Dwight Frye, who should have won an Oscar for best supporting actor - which they didn't award in 1931 yet - too. I just watched it again last night - my God Bela is creepy. You can keep your modern revisionist versions - this movie rocks. The Whispering Squash
