Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Dracula deserves its status as a classic, although one might be tempted to append the word 'lesser' to that label.

fresh:
With Mr. Browning's imaginative direction and Mr. Lugosi's makeup and weird gestures, this picture succeeds to some extent in its grand guignol intentions.

fresh:
Not by any means the masterpiece of fond memory or reputation, although the first twenty minutes are astonishingly fluid and brilliantly shot by Karl Freund.

fresh:
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.

fresh:
A sublimated ghost story related with all surface seriousness and above all with a remarkably effective background of creepy atmosphere.
