When a 15th-century prince (Caleb Landry Jones) witnesses the brutal murder of his wife (Zoë Bleu), he renounces God and damns heaven itself. Cursed with eternal life, he is reborn as Dracula, an immortal warlord who defies fate in a blood-soaked crusade to wrench his lost love back from death, no matter the cost. On the verge of reuniting, Dracula is hunted by a relentless priest (Christoph Waltz), sworn to end his immortal reign.

Critics Consensus

Buoyed by Caleb Landry Jones' haunting lead performance and Danny Elfman's lush score, Dracula reimagines the classic vampire myth as an emotionally charged gothic romance, yet its inconsistent tone holds it back from genre-defining greatness.

Here we are again, caught up in the never-ending slow-drip flood of cinematic Dracula mythology, now with Luc Besson’s wan, derivative, dutifully time-period-hopping, different-but-not-really-new take on the vampire legend.

C-

The cast’s deliveries on Besson’s punchlines are strong, and editor Lucas Fabiani keeps up his end of the deal when it comes to timing. But not even Jones isn’t funny or magnetic enough to sustain attention without the support of real suspense and allure.

2/4

The bloodsucking Count is back again, but this time in a strangely bloodless love story that even wickedly seductive fangboy Caleb Landry Jones can’t save from the cliché stockpile

In the hands of Jones and Besson, this Dracula is… kind of a dumb-ass.

It’s not a total waste of time – but if I had to sum it all up in a sentence, I would say: they should just have called it Luc Besson’s Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Dracula" — developed with the working title "Dracula: A Love Tale" — blends folklore, history, star-crossed love, and gothic horror to deliver a vivid, spellbinding re-imagining that is both spiritedly daring and elegantly wistful.

Great screen writing for a story that has been written in so many ways. This one hit different in a good way.

I honestly liked the movie! I recommend watching it if you are Dracula’s fan! It strays away from the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola’s movie but I enjoyed watching this version. Although Dracula was portrayed a bit too feminine for my liking.

The scenography and costume design is phenomenal however, nothing compares to the original as the performance of the actors and their selection was superb. The is the reason of one star less.
