Will SloanSep 13, 2020these guys act like they're after dracula for murdering people but it's obvious his real crime is being too sexy and they're jealous about how aroused the women are

The Great and Powerful Vivi 🏳️⚧️🍉Sep 3, 2020the reason this film still has merits is because of the floating bats
sanOct 6, 2019The long stretches of white noise are what really sell this film for me, weirdly enough. It’s an unintentional outcome, since early sound films predate a lot of the music cues we’ve been conditioned to expect, but the absence of a rousing score during pivotal scenes made…

- Dyl is "meh" onDracula
Imagine me watching Frankenstein and Nosferatu very close together and finally getting round to watching possibly one of the most influential movies of all time and it being an absolute massive disappointment as the characters aren’t endearing not to mention it’s poor pacing 5/10
Morgan lovedDraculaso beautifully eerie, i love how dracula can so seamlessly go from incredibly charming and alluring to creepy and malicious, such a great film, i loved dracula, renfield and mina very much, the story was told so wonderfully
William Luckenbach lovedDraculaAlthough slow paced, Dracula is an interesting film from a historical point of view as it is the first surviving sound horror movie and as a result feels much like a stage play. Nevertheless it is interesting and an undisputed classic. 8/10
- Sabrina Bondi likedDracula
A sublimated ghost story related with all surface seriousness and above all with a remarkably effective background of creepy atmosphere.
Hank Leet likedDraculaThis classic made Dracula into the iconic monster he is today
jessica likedDraculawas utterly confused when they called him mr. renfield. so i assumed this was going to be a movie on how dracula became renfields master. no. they’ve just mixed it up. the pacing is fairly quick to follow but if your a lover of the book as i am you can see the missed opportunities.
- Britt likedDracula
Despite Lugosi being known for the role of Dracula today, he wasn’t the 1st choice. Lon Chaney was the 1st choice but before getting signed on for the movie, Chaney died of a throat hemorrhage. Chaney’s death affected Browning so much that cinematographer stepped in at times.
James New likedDraculaIconic as all hell and a landmark in Universal Monster films since it started it all. Bela Legosi is iconic in the role and it’s an acceptable way of telling Stoker’s story. In the better quadrant of Universal Monster films, it’s no Frankenstein or Bride of Frankenstein.
Landon C lovedDraculaThis is kinda peak writing. I’m not tryna glaze the og movies but there something about the simple but realistic writing of the 30’s monster movies. Van Helsing discovering Dracula through not seeing his reflection was kind of the perfect ending for this movie. 8.5/10

Metacritic
Universal's classic from 1931, directed by Tod Browning. The opening scenes, set in Dracula's castle, are magnificent—grave, stately, and severe. But the film becomes unbearably static once the action moves to England, and much of the morbid sexual tension is dissipated.
Dave Kehr
Chicago Reader
Certainly it is Lugosi's performance, and the cinematography of Karl Freund, that make Tod Browning's film such an influential Hollywood picture.
Roger Ebert
