Dracula -
I was sure I saw this when I was young. But I didn't remember any of it. The movie is good. But it's slow. So slow that I would say 90% or more of today's audience wouldn't put up with it. So many times I thought there was going to be a fight scene but nope. Yet it wasn't a bad thing.
I love the look of these classic movies. It really helps the setting and realism. At least to me. Dracula's castle is pretty cool. I like the oversize fireplace and scope of the place. Some stuff is obvious like the prop bat flying around. But let's be honest, in today's version that bat would be flying like mad attacking people. I was also surprised at where they cut the movie. No bites. All off screen and fade outs. The mirror reveal was great too. But I was really shocked by the ending. I didn't expect that.
