Dracula: Love Never Dies - Bram Stoker VHS
A seductive retelling of the legendary tale, BRAM
STOKER'S DRACULA is Francis Ford Coppola's opulent, erotic,
blood-filled feast. Count Dracula (played with irresistible
intensity by Gary Oldman) reunites with his soul mate, Mina (Winona
Ryder), after four centuries. Mina's friend Lucy (Sadie Frost)
succumbs to the deadly bite of Dracula while Renfield (Tom Waits),
locked in an asylum, eagerly waits for his master's return. Mina's
fiancé, Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves), with the help of
the eccentric Professor Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins), attempts to
save Mina's life and soul before she can become Dracula's eternal
bride. After Dracula attacks Mina’s friend Lucy
(Sadie Frost), Dr. Jack Seward (Richard E. Grant) calls in the
legendary Professor Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins) to cure
Lucy’s 'disease of the blood.' Jonathan escapes
from the castle and he and Mina are married while Lucy dies and is
resurrected as a vampire. When Dracula appears to Mina in her
sleep, she declares her undying love for him. Professor Van
Helsing, Jack Seward, and Lucy’s
fiancé, Arthur Holmwood (Cary Elwes), join Jonathan and
travel to Transylvania to destroy Dracula, but Mina tries to save
her tortured lover. Musician Tom Waits appears in the film as
Renfield, a Victorian lunatic singing the praises of Dracula.
Ornate costume design and lighting awash in shades of blood make
this film a seductive and scary must-see. In his version of the
oft-told tale, Francis Ford Coppola takes Bram Stoker's
archetypical horror story and accentuates the romantic angle. Blood
still flows in large amounts, and Coppola opted to do all the
eye-pleasing visual effects in-camera, utilizing shadow puppets,
smoke, miniatures, and other time-honored tricks of the
trade--creating a visual style not unlike that of a storybook come
to life.
