It's not really scary, but I didn't need it to be, I was more interested in the overall story, and that worked well.
#BRIAN MURPHY DRACULA NIGHTMARE IN THE DARK MOVIE#
Meanwhile Coppola works well with shadows and images in the backgrounds to make the film have the feel of an old silent movie version (eyes in the storm) but with modern standards. Visually the film is great rich colours in the scenery and costumes really bring the goth out of the film. However, for the most part the gothic telling works very well and feels very lavish and rich. The story is told with a real respect for the source, perhaps a little too much as it can be a little to heavy and lacking in spark at times. Here the basic plot follows the tale from the creation of Dracula, his love and his confrontation with Van Helsing and the various suitors of the lovely Lucy. Although a little too long for my liking, this film is a very rich gothic telling of a story that has become watered down slightly with the many different versions of stories with the characters.

Her various suitors try to help her and call for Professor Van Helsing to come and help they realise that this is not a simple battle against a disease of the blood. Meanwhile, Dracula travels to London where he feeds on the lovely Lucy Westenra. When his first consultant goes mad, Jonathon Harker is sent to Dracula in his place, only to find himself trapped in the castle. Opening with his vow to rise from his grave and take revenge on a God who allowed his beloved to die while he defended Him on the battlefield, we see Count Dracula in the 1890's, conducting business with a London firm.
