About this deal

The cinematographer, Michael Ballhaus, gets into the spirit so completely he always seems to light with shadows. It raised a few eyebrows in Hollywood for the director of classic films like The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and The Outsiders to sign on to direct a vampire movie. I appreciate a multifaceted villain, but you can’t forget he’s a terrible creature that deserves the stake to the heart and his head chopped off. Another reason some might not have predicted too many Oscar noms for “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” was the academy’s aversion to recognizing horror films, and that was certainly the case for previous “Dracula” adaptations. Coppola’s film unspools like an erotic nightmare, dredging up all the pent-up and sexually charged energy that roils (sometimes barely) below the surface of Stoker’s novel.

Indeed, Oldman would be so damn good in the role that he would cast a long shadow over just about everybody else, leaving the likes of a woefully miscast Keanu Reeves (who literally cited Oldman's presence as one of the reasons for why he 'didn't give his best performance') and even Ryder - who, judged on this, may not have exactly saved The Godfather Part III on acting alone - floundering, and even the great Anthony Hopkins having to ham it up to the max as Van "Cameo" Helsing.Updated daily and in real-time, we track all high-def disc news and release dates, and review the latest disc titles. She never thought it would move forward, but Coppola admitted that Dracula was one of his favorite movie monsters. Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula comes to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for the second time, a re-issue by Sony just five short years after its last release.

Three wins at the 65th Academy Awards cemented the status of “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” as an important and beloved horror film of its era, certainly one of the most memorable adaptations of Stoker’s novel we’ve ever gotten. I don’t think they anticipated my dedication to living up to my end of the bargain as I dutifully read the book while at summer camp that year and loved it.Similarly, in Sound Effects Editing, the other two nominees “Aladdin” and “Under Siege” didn’t pose much of a threat. That’s appropriate for Frankenstein's monster since he’s a creature who didn’t ask to be born and has to figure out the terrifying world while frightened people try to kill him, that’s fine. As we enter the spooky season, big fans of all that go bump in the night take time to reflect on scares of the past and how they have aged over the years. And that's precisely what he did, becoming synonymous with the iconic character in a way that took half a dozen outings for the likes of Christopher Lee, and evoking a sense of melancholy and tragedy that has evaded the quintessential horror demon pretty-much since inception.
