Though Francis Ford Coppola's film certainly strays from Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula (for example, the entire Mina loves Dracula storyline!), the director of the Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now delivers a visually gorgeous and gory film, giving you numerous reasons to see yet another vampire film this year. For one, you get Gary Oldman as Count Dracula. Two: It’s Halloween weekend. Three: This version is made eerie and interesting by Coppola's refusal to use modern digital technology for the special effects, as he opted instead for old-school cinematic trickery (most of it in-camera with no post-production effects). Four: You can laugh your ass off as Keanu tries to speak with a believable British accent. And, a bonus: Tom Waits as the bug-addicted and possessed lunatic Renfield. All combined, it makes for a frightfully delicious Halloween film.
