Mark of the Vampire, visually striking and Lugosi's best vampire portrayal, in my opinion. I only wish Browning had used the imagery in this and London After Midnight (of which it's a remake) to serve a coherent plot. Listening to the commentary, Kim Newman is pretty confused by this movie and it's numerous plot holes and I don't think it's a good sign when somebody like Kim Newman is puzzled by something as much as he is.
