It has its issues but it still has magic.<br /><br />I always had problems understanding why Dracula didn't ask the priest to remove the cross stopping him from entering his castle <i>the first time they went there.</i> he chooses to first go get revenge, and then have someone remove the cross. Dracula isn't too smart a few minutes after being resurrected, it seems. <br /><br />One minor gripe I have with this film is that it's the first when Dracula and his victims cease to be the focal point and are (here) equally balanced with a second theme: the love between the two main characters. Here, this is not so evident as in later movies (Taste, 1972). In Horror and in Prince, the main theme was Dracula, and all other character-relations were secondary. <br /><br />Also, this Dracula marks the start of the "I don't move, bring me my victims" tactic he also uses in Taste and 1972, where he nerver leaves a single room. Here he actually leaves a couple of times but is too dependent on the living aide and most of the time stays in the cellar.<br /><br />Anyway, even with all of that, is a great film. And great review.The Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604204981457343496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-1149283746471624302006-06-02T14:29:00.000-07:002006-06-02T14:29:00.000-07:00Hey!
