Modern Film Classics

The horror genre is dead. It is decidedly so. It was revitalized by films like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. It was also killed by it's own want of MORE. Such films as Urban Legend and the sequel to I Know.... The original revitilization comes forth in this first installment of Modern Classics, and that film is Bram Stoker's Dracula. Retold with amazing attention to the book, director Francis Ford Coppola tells the story of Dracula. A Romanian warrior who is so hurt by his wife's suicide, that he damns God and promises to bring vengeance to him. And so Dracula is born, immortal, and vicious. He needs new settngs, and sends for a lawyer from London Johnathan Harker, played with gusto by Keanu Reeves. Dracula, played by the amazing Gary Oldman who transcends hundreds of years, encaptures Harker in his castle and travels to London where he meets Mina, played by the beautiful Winona Ryder. The rest is played out as a romance that Dracula trys to win over Mina. But horror fans don't worry this film has it's share of creeps and action and is the original Dracula film. An outstanding cast and plot, guided by amazing direction make this a modern film classic #1.
