      Evil lucy

      This vampire movie is very good-looking, the image of Count Dracula is very classical and melancholic, and the cobweb castle is also very British. The stage props are very comfortable to watch. Given that the vampire story has been repeatedly remade, every director will inevitably want to make his own version new. The unique feature of this film is that it does not involve the part of the story of Dracula in his hometown in Transylvania. Rather, it directly tells that Dracula came to London...

      Damn it! I have watched so many versions of the vampire Dracula, most of them are Dracula Aimina, this one is actually Dracula Love Lucy! ? Dracula sucked Mina's blood and turned her into a vampire, and did the same to Lucy when he turned his head! ? Mina's father is actually Van Helsing! ? When her father learned that his daughter had passed away, he couldn't believe it. Later, he saw his daughter standing in front of him alive again, still shouting: Dad, Dad, but it has become another...

      Like Dracula, the hero of a romantic drama! Van Helsing played by Olivier! There is also the 7th Dr. Runaway! The adaptation of this edition still uses Lucy as Jonathan’s fiancée, omitting the story in Transylvania’s castle, and moving the stage to Whitby. It feels that the 92 edition should have a certain reference to this edition. I like the ending process very much. Van Helsing died, but Dracula survived. I can imagine that the following story will be like Dracula said. One hundred years...

    Among the many film versions of "Dracula", the film directed by John Badham is less well-known, but the male protagonist Frank Langela succeeded in creating an image of a noble gentleman-type Dracula. It tells the story of the bloodthirsty Earl Drogula leaving his castle and rushing to the modern city of London to pursue new prey, thus experiencing many interesting encounters. On the performance of the director, the film is only quite...
