What the back of the box says
What I thought
Gary Oldman, Winana Ryder and Anthony Hopkins star in director Francis Ford Coppola's visually stunning, passionately seductive version ot the classic Dracula legend.
In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Coppola returns to the original source of the Dracula myth, and from that gothic romance, he creates a moderns masterpiece.  Gary Oldman's metamorphisis as Dracula - who grows from old to young, from man to beast - is nothing short of amazing.  Winona Ryder brings equal intensity to the role of a young beauty who becomes the object of Dracula's desire.  Anthony Hopkins costars as the famed doctor who dares to believe in Dracula, and then dares to confront him.  Opulent, dazzling and utterly irresistible, this is Dracula as you've never seen him.  And once you've seen Bram Stoker's Dracula, you'll never forget it.
I loved this movie.  If you've never seen it, go rent it, buy it, or whatever, but just get a copy of it and watch it.  On top of the really gothic feeling that this movie has, it also has a really cool instrumental soundtrack that has an eerie feeling to it.  Not to insult Nosferatu (it also is one of my favorite movies), but Dracula really shows how far the movie industry has come since 1922.
