Somewhat predictably, the Sherlock team's take on Dracula proves to be a studied piece of unfaithfulness - although, given just how well-known and iconic this particular story is, it's hard to see quite what else they could have done. It starts off looking deceptively faithful, turns into a bizarre inversion of an Agatha Christie-type murder mystery, and then really goes for broke with a third-act twist the likes of which have not been seen since AD 1972. Guaranteed to upset purists, but hey - at least they were still allowed to cast a man as Dracula.

Claes Bang is indisputably very good as the Count, mixing cool flippancy with genuine menace. The rest of it is a bit of a curate's egg, with brilliant moments mixed thoroughly with things that don't quite work. If you like Moffat and Gatiss' approach to scripting - sketch show and conjuring performance in equal measures, with big set pieces and reveals taking precedence over logic and cohesion - then you will obviously enjoy this. Otherwise, then the sound of Dracula is not so much the music of the children of the night, as that of the writers winking at the audience non-stop for four and a half hours.

Eve Green is everything in this show. She and Josh Hartnett are the saving graces. Out of all the penny dreadful/gothic horror, etc stories they could have pulled from, they chose.. Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dorian Grey? It could have been so much better. The season finale didn't make me feel like I wanted to watch seasons two or three.

A big production Horror Comedy as Dracula's trusty servant is looking to break free of their toxic relationship.
It's silly, fun and with some good action scenes and a fair bit of bloody gore. Nicholas Cage is great as an OTT Dracula. A good fun film mixing up various genres. Packs a punch and has bite!

The female acting, Storyline was a bit monotonous at times (0 more)
So bad it was kinda good.
This was a spoof on dracula films and it was so bad I actually really liked it, it was lighthearted, amusing and a bit slapstick.
Definitely one to watch with a bit of alcohol in the system lol, doesnt require brain power to follow the storyline.

I loved the silly stuff like the ball room dance, the turning into a bat, the ridiculous amount of garlic and you are right Renfield was fantastic in it.

Brilliant insight into Bram Stoker's life
*** Disclosure - I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review ***


This book stays true to the format of Stoker's Dracula, being written in the form of a compilation of diary entries, letters and newspaper reports. This allows some of the main characters to embed their own voice and to give their view of events, the narratives interweaved to give a good, suspenseful story.
Bram Stoker was not well as a child, pretty much bed-bound until the age of 7. Then he suddenly recovered and went on to become a successful athlete and University graduate. This book takes that life story and layers on a brilliant prequel to Dracula, suggesting that vampires very much impacted on Stoker's life and he himself did battle with Count Vlad.
Excellent, atmospheric story with plenty of suspense and action, and a few twists and turns along the way. A perfect read for this time of year.
