Truly one of the best adaptation of the novel by Bram Stoker. The acting(except for Keannu Reeves), cinematography, costumes, special effects, screen play are superb. FFC succeeded in what other directors failed: Humanizing our infamous bloodsucker. Instead of concentrating on the gore, he opted to focus on the romance between Minas and Dracula. We are led to believed that what he is doing, no matter how horrible, are all done in the name of his undying love to his bride. It is a must see for everyone.
