Count Dracula (1970) Full Movie

Katja A 07 Apr 2010

Tuttu stoori ja perinteinen toteutus. Paikoitellen komean hyytävä, mutta paikoitellen hieman hupaisa (mikä tuskin oli alkuperäinen tarkoitus). Kavan printti oli jo parhaat päivät nähnyt, mutta toisaalta pieni kuluneisuus sopi tähän. Christopher Lee on tietenkin loistava nimiroolissa ja Klaus Kinski oli hyvä hulluna Renfieldinä, kun taas Herbert Lomia ei valitettavasti oikein osaa ottaa vakavasti.

This movie is a mixture of good and bad here, something which basically sums up Franco's career. Franco set out to make the definitive adaptation of Stoker's novel, and the first part of the movie, with Harker in the castle, is extremely faithful to the original text. This alone makes the movie worth seeing, as one gets the chance to hear Christopher Lee deliver large chunks of dialogue direct from Stoker's text. However, realising it had taken a third of his movie to manage 50 pages of the book, from then on the film becomes just another Dracula movie. The plot largely departs from the book, but is still largely saved by Kinski's Renfield who increasingly becomes the focal point of the movie. Herbert Lom plays a rather intimidating Van Helsing, and the music, so much subtler and more eerie than the crashing brass of Hammer's productions.

Jess Franco's Count Dracula is by no means a worthy Dracula film, despite Christopher Lee being in it. It's a fairly faithful adaptation of the original Bram Stoker novel, but what it lacks is style and something to get your blood pumping. It's fairly dull, despite being sort of gritty in style. Not gritty in blood and gore mind you, but in texture and feel. It seems to me that they just picked out locations, chose basic costumes and shot the thing. It's certainly low budget, but the Hammer films are much slicker and have more production value to them by comparison. All of the actors seemed bored in their roles, even Klaus Kinski, who plays the supposedly psychotic Renfield. He more or less just lays around during the entire movie. Christopher Lee is also uninteresting most of the time. It's a decent try at it, but it just winds up being a big snooze in the end.

A gorgeous, gorgeous film with gorgeous, gorgeous people and plenty of unintentionally hilarious scenes. This film has one of the best soundtracks in the history of cinema, mainly thanks to the mesmerising metallic guitar sound that echoes almost like an out-of-tune cembalo or kantele.
