Real estate agent Renfield travels to Transylvania for a meeting with Count Dracula, who is interested in buying Carfax Abbey in London.
He is converted to a slave of Dracula and prepares his master's ship to travel to his new property.
Once in London, Dracula discovers that he has a new destiny, and her name is Mina Seward....
It's arguably the most famous of the all the Dracula incarnations, but the years haven't been kind to the film, and despite all the quotable lines, and Lugosi's career defining performance, it's all very camp.
As menacing as Dracula is, he does spend a lot of time having someone flash a light in his face to look more sinister, and although the main cast are excellent in their respective roles, the supporting cast are just pitiful, and drag the film down whenever they open their mouths.
See for example, The Innkeeper featured I the first act, and the hospital steward, they just done seem to be taking the thing seriously.
But the film is a classic, the sets are awe inspiring, and in its own unique way, it is quite a chilling movie.........
But very camp nonetheless.....
