Roger Ebert's evaluation of the film in "The Great Movie"

According to rumors in the film industry, Bela Lugosi could barely speak English when he was chosen by Universal as the protagonist of "Dracula the Vampire". According to the previous plan, this role should be played by Lon Chaney (Lon Chaney) in the silent classics "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1923) and "The Phantom of the Opera" (1925) After being successful, it was a very wise decision to choose him. But he passed away when the filming of "Dracula the Vampire" was about to begin, so...

The vampire whose eyes are shining in the dark night

The plot of Dracula, directed by Tod Browning in 1931, is closer to Stoker's original novel. Because of the dialogues and sound, the plot is much easier to understand for me compared with Nosferatu. It omitted some parts of the story which may confuse viewers , such as the reason why Dracula moves to London and how he controls people, etc. The pace of the film and the way the story suddenly ends, seems too flat and too hasty for me. The whole movie is not terrifying at all, instead , the fuzzy...

Black and White Magic Shadow

"Dracula" directed by Herzog in 1931 was based on Stoke's novel. Bela Lugosi's English with a strong Carba Qianshan mountain accent is low and gloomy, which is impressive. No special effects, no soundtrack, the horror atmosphere of the film is not inferior to any contemporary thriller, and black and white may be the most suitable color for vampire films.

Vampire movies are an outlier in the history of movies. Since Bram Stroker wrote the novel Dracula in 1897, the black theme of...

Elegant and charming vampire

The film deliberately omitted many storylines that should have been clearly explained to the audience, such as why Earl Dracula left Trafania and came to far away London, and how Earl Dracula sucked blood and made the vampires enslaved by him. of. I think this does not fit the viewing habits of modern movie audiences, but objectively it adds to the mystery of the film.
   There is no doubt about the religious nature of the film. Not to mention the plot that Count Dracula was afraid of...

Comment on this play

Some time ago, I watched the three-part documentary "The History of Horror Movies" released by the BBC this year. This set of documentaries does not take the rendering of horror as a selling point, but a rigorous and almost academic attitude, and discusses the development history, style evolution of horror films as one of the important film types, and the psychological mechanism that triggers audiences to watch horror films. . The first episode introduces some important early sound horror...

#史记# I can't say if this is the first horror film with sound, but it should be the first work that puts Dracula's image on the big screen, and it's not the copyright of the novel but the copyright of the stage play. ("Nosferatu" did not buy the copyright and it is the Murnaud version) Since then, the vampires are beautiful, they can bite their necks and not die, and they have become bats and wolves... If anyone can break the paralyzed face When it comes to acting, there is and only him in the...

Compared to the current abuse of special effects, Lugosi's image is unforgettable, and the aggressiveness of the beast in his eyes is terrifying enough. Another monster movie star, Karloff, lowered his price and wanted to play Dracula, but he didn't succeed. In fact, he really wanted to see him play this role. The climax section makes you want to finish humming Swan Lake by...
