Closer to Stoker's story than most

"I bought this because it sounded interesting, with Stoker's story brought into modern times. It surprised me because it's closer to the book than many movie versions are. It is basically a filmed version of all the characters' diaries and most of the dialogue and exposition are taken directly from the book. John Johnson, the director, who also plays the role of Quincey Morris, definitely had a feel for the original material and put a lot of thought into his film. OK, the production values aren't high and the FX aren't the greatest, but the story is there. The film was a pleasant surprise for me and I believe anyone who loves the book won't be disappointed with this retelling."
Right on the money

"I am a vampire movie collector. I have over 200 vampire movies total. I read the reviews of the other viewers. The ones that did not like the movie and said that it was bad should keep their opinions to themselves. A true Dracula movie lover can see for themself that this movie is soo close the book that it is almost unreal. I really enjoyed this movie. Because of the two bad reviews, I was afraid that this movie was bad and a waste of money. Don't believe them, this movie is a Dracula lovers dream in modern times. Who would have thought it would be this good in modern times. I would recommend this movie in a heartbeat. Great job!!!"
