Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProducer and director Francis Ford Coppola explains on the DVD commentary that Mina and Harker's wedding was a re-shoot done at a Los Angeles Greek Orthodox church. They filmed the entire ceremony with a genuine Romanian Orthodox minister, and realized afterwards that Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves may have really been married to each other, not in any legal sense, but "under the eyes of God" as Ryder claims. Reeves has since confessed that he often gets text messages from Ryder that read "Hello, husband," and that they are both completely fine with it.
- GoofsElisabeta's eyebrows and eyelids twitch visibly when Prince Vlad stumbles down to view her dead body.
- Alternate versionsBritish video version contains a scene where Jonathan Harker's nipple is licked by one of the female vampires, who then bites it and causes it to bleed. When the film premiered in America this scene was not included.

Featured review
Lavish style covers some deficiencies
It's 1897 and it's been 400 years since he lost his beloved Elisabeta (Winona Ryder). Young lawyer Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) travels to do business with Dracula in Transylvania, but is imprisoned by the Count. Dracula travels to London to seduce Harker's fiancée Mina Murray(also played by Winona Ryder).
Gary Oldman is deliciously evil but Keanu Reeves is well overmatched by his acting counterpart. Winona Ryder is pretty but her role desperately need her sexuality. Director Francis Ford Coppola has created one of the most beautiful lavish Gothic film. It is erotic but it isn't sexy.
The movie looks amazing but it lacks the pace, the tension, and worst of all, it lacks the scares that a real Dracula horror should deliver. Coppola has built a beautiful piece of art, but not a great piece of story.
