What first strikes you about this movie is it incredible level of style. The whole film takes on an eerie, seductive feeling that can only be likened to that of Dracula himself.

You know that this is sticking closely to the original premise set out in the novel even if like myself you've never read it. The most notable chilling moments are those when the count's shadow appears to be following Dracula. The effect is done with such subtlety that you can't quite be sure whether or not it was just your imagination.

The cast is superb with strong performance by all especially Gary Oldman as Dracula.

My only criticism is of a scene towards the end of the film involving a rather laughable bat costume but this is a small flaw in a work of immeasurable genius.
