 Rated 4 out of 5
Worth Seeing
Don’’t look for special effects in this film. The eerieness is created by the black and white and actor facial expressions, especially at the beginning at Dracula’’s castle. Excellent performances by Bela Lugosi and Dwight Frye. The same actor who played Dr. Waldman in Frankenstein, plays Van Helsing. The main confrontation between Van Helsing and Dracula is not as spectacular as some of the later versions of the film though. The ultimate destruction of Dracula is done off-screen and loses dramatic effect. Not having read Brahm Stoker’’s novel, I am not sure how true to the book this one is (there was a movie called Brahm Stoker’’s Dracula that was very different from this one) but just seeing Bela do Dracula is worth it. - Rated 4 out of 5
Dont judge it because it’’s so old
Not many thrilling special effects here, but none are needed. So sad to see how Bela Lugosi forever embedded himself into this character. This is the orginal & just as scary,if you ignore the bat on a string !  Rated 5 out of 5!
NEVER BEEN EQUALED NEVER BEEN EQUALED!!!
Ask just about any vampire fan, and they will tell you, NO ONE has ever played Dracula better than Bella Lugosi. He remains a "cult" favorite, and this version of Dracula remains the most popular of all time. In this story, a young man goes on a business journey to see Count Dracula. The Count wishes to move to England and settle there. Upon arrival in the new land, Dracula begins his reign of terror, bringing more and more people into his family of vampires. After a short time, a man discovers what Count Dracula really is and works to try and kill the Count and all of his vampires. Does he succeed? Get the movie and find out. Horror, suspense, drama, are rampant in this one of a kind film.
