I agree with Incoginito(check his review) when he say this is the best vampire film ever made. That is to say I think the first half is the best ever. I've been watching horror movies since I was around 7 (and I'm 32 now!) and this is the closest I have found to capturing the romantic/gothic/horror element that makes vampirism the most fascinating of the horror genres. Even Nosferatu doesn't quite capture the sprirt of Dracula like this gothic opera(even though Stokers novel doesn't have the romance element it is still erortically charged). I do feel however that it loses something in the second half when the romance/chase element comes in, and also Keannu Reeves is totally miscast as Harker (he can't do an Englishman) but it still remains the best so far. I think the pre-title scene where he turns against God and the writhing bed with hapless/lucky Keannu being sexually harrassed by the brides both rank as simply the best pieces of vampire film making I've ever seen.
