- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2010Jack Palance's portrayal of Dracula has received some notable plaudits over the years but I confess I find this version of Bram Stoker's tale somewhat disappointing.
Palance certainly has the sort of presence to suggest the menace of the vampire Count but I find that the fantastic, exotic aspects of the character are lacking in his portrayal. He certainly isn't helped by well-lit shots which, to my mind, are totally lacking in any Gothic atmosphere. "Dracula's Castle" appears merely in need of a couple of Mrs. Mops to flick away the dust and tidy up a little and there is no suggestion that they might happen on a nest of bats in any of its rooms.
Stoker's tale - together with the number of characters who appear in the original novel - is pared down to its essentials, but the screenplay adds several elements to the story that Stoker never envisaged.
I saw this film on its original release and enjoyed it then. Perhaps it has more impact on a large screen, but watching it again, at home, after all the intervening years I must confess now to some disappointment with the production.
Unlike a number of issues available from the USA which turn out to be region-free this disc definitely requires a player capable of reproducing the NTSC format.

Anonymous Reviewer 13Reviewed in the United States on 15 July 20125.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable Character Potrayal
*CONTAINS SPOILERS*
I admit I was bit skeptical of the plot quality when I first read the film summary. I feared that Dracula would only be written as romantic and sympathetic, without putting any of the necessary emphasis on the fact that he is an EVIL character. Still, I decided to give it a shot and, boy, am I glad I did.
The movie was in no way the sexy, angst riddled vampire chick flick I'd thought it would be. Instead of being a squeal fest for teenage girls, the story was very somber and dark, though not lacking in action.
In this movie, Dracula reason for going to England is to take for his own, a young woman (Lucy), that looks exactly like his beloved, dead wife from the fifteenth century . I thought this worked surprisingly well with the original story as well as giving a more likely explanation for Dracula's departure from Transylvania.
Throughout the story, there are quite a few throwbacks to Stoker's original novel, as well as historical references to Vlad Tepes (the historical "Dracula"), that I have never seen used in any other Dracula movies. All of which helps to add the touch of uniqueness that most Dracula films lack.
What I particularly loved was the interpretation of the specific characters, all of which were probably some of the best portrayals I've ever seen.
Dr. Van Helsing is much more believable as a normal, down to earth, English doctor who happens to see the preternatural truth behind the seemingly unexplained, sudden illness of Lucy Westenra (Dracula's first victim).
In this version, Mina is written as being a more intelligent and stiffer spined woman than I think most other versions give her the courtesy of. The girl portrayed is definitely no "damsel in distress", though she is something of a secondary character rather than a main protagonist.
Dracula is portrayed as an embittered, violent, often animalistic creature, and is, in my opinion very close to Stokers original novel, personality wise.
The Dracula shown here is unusual in that his past existence as a human being, is tied in (however small) with the main plot. Adding a touch of realistic humanity to him I've never seen managed in any other version, as well as showing a tinge of the tragedy of immortality in Dracula's loneliness and grief over his dead wife, whom he can never re- join in eternal rest. These parts are not over played though and are merely undertones in the story.
This Dracula is menacing in his blunt and straightforward way of confronting those who displease him. His savagery casts an ever present sense of menace throughout the film, giving it wonderful atmosphere and a true cinematic delight.
The only thing that I thought was poorly done were sets for the scenes within Castle Dracula. The architecture that was created was WAY too modern to portray an artifice supposedly constructed in the fifteenth century. This is merely a technicality though and should in no way discourage you from buying the film. It is a true gem in its fresh take on the story of Dracula and a wonderful movie to have on hand for a rainy evening.

Honest OneReviewed in the United States on 14 July 20215.0 out of 5 stars Bram Stoker's Dracula courtesy of Dan Curtis
The cinematic genre of Dracula will celebrate it's 100th anniversary in 2022. Indeed we've come a long way since the silent movie classic "Nosferatu" which was first filmed in Germany in 1922. We later have Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula in the 1930's leading to my favorite Dracula Christopher Lee in the Hammer Horror Film years of the 1950's and 1960's. However, it was the imagination of Dan Curtis who brought Dark Shadows featuring Barnabas Collins into our homes every afternoon via daytime television. Dan Curtis totally reinvented the image of film vampires making them sympathetic characters you rooted for yet at the same time despised as blood thirsty fiends. This TV version of Dracula adds yet another chapter to the vampire genre which deserves its own separate spotlight in classic horror film recognition. Many believe Jack Palance came as close as any actor to date in surpassing the sensual, yet horrifying depiction of Dracula once portrayed by the late legendary great Christopher Lee. Dan Curtis decided to film "Bram Stoker's Dracula" also known as" Dan Curtis Dracula" in two locations. He picked Yugoslavia, where there were eerie old castles and secluded land to film on. Yet Curtis still found time and space on the remaining reels to conclude the story lusciously filmed in the atmospheric setting of old England. The initial broadcast was scheduled for October 1973 but was pre-empted for a special news address by President Nixon on the resignation of his VP Spiro Agnew. Instead the movie was rescheduled and broadcast in February 1974. The movie was very successful according to the special features section provided on the DVD purchase. Supposedly ,Jack Palance was offered the role of Dracula several more times after his gala performance here. However, he adamantly turned down all those future acting parts, out of fear he might be stereotyped going forward , regarding any further acting roles he might seek. After all, It was his second horror collaboration with Curtis dating back to the made for TV movie " The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" gorgeously filmed in 1968. I just wish he could have made more entertaining films with Dan Curtis after triumphantly making this one. They worked so well together, making memorable films which I think others would agree to this day, more than withstand the cinematic test of time.
