Bram Stoker's Dracula

"The movie is an exercise in feverish excess, and for that if for little else, I enjoyed it."

"In Bram Stoker's Dracula, director Francis Ford Coppola wins endless vam-Pyrrhic victories but loses the narrative war."

"This lack of a convincing central dynamic leads to the occasional sense that the film is little more than a spectacular edifice, but you'll be too spellbound to resist seduction."

"A somewhat dispersed and overcrowded story line that remains fascinating and often affecting thanks to all its visual and conceptual energy."

"Has a film ever promised so much yet delivered so little?"
