Very well done by all concerned.
“Count Dracula” is the legendary Jess Franco’s stylish and opulent looking adaptation of the enduring Bram Stoker tale, done in such a way as to create a true sense of foreboding right from the outset. Not only does it look great, but it’s beautifully atmospheric and elegant, and may appeal to lovers of classic vampire tales by keeping exploitative elements to a minimum. There are beautiful women and there’s a tiny bit of gore, but Franco mostly makes this film all about the ambiance. Plus, it’s hard to go wrong with any film that casts Sir Christopher Lee in the role of the nefarious Count (a dozen years after he’d began essaying the role in Hammer’s Dracula series), Herbert Lom as the intrepid Van Helsing, who doesn’t let a stroke deter him from doing what needs to be done, and the one-of-a-kind Klaus Kinski, perfectly suited to the role of the disturbed Renfield (but actually playing the role with a little more restraint than one might expect). The familiar story has lawyer in training Jonathan Harker (handsome Fred Williams) visiting the aged Count in his Transylvanian castle as the latter prepares to make the move to London, and the efforts of Jonathan, Van Helsing, and Quincey Morris (Jack Taylor) to vanquish the Count once they realize they have a problem. Franco gives his film a wonderfully ominous mood, which he maintains for 97 straight minutes, and creates some haunting sequences, such as Lucy’s (Soledad Miranda) seduction of a child. Speaking of Ms. Miranda, it would also be hard to knock any film featuring such a lovely lady, as well as the equally delectable Maria Rohm as Mina. The period recreation is strong, the pacing efficient (Bruno Mattei is one of the two editors), and the music by Bruno Nicolai simply excellent. Mainly, though, the film serves as a fine showcase for the always dapper and always charismatic Lee, who gives Dracula a measure of dignity (he has one impressive monologue, done in close-up, as he relates some family history) as well as menace. Colourful, sinister, and featuring interesting touches (such as animal noises on the soundtrack as Jonathan and Quincey are surrounded by stuffed animals at one point), “Count Dracula” is worth a viewing for fans of old fashioned fright fare. Eight out of 10.
