Why Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula is and always will be the best adaptation of the legendary Bram Stoker novel

Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Cinema has no shortage of vampire movies, more specifically films that take inspiration from the very piece of literature, that although wasn't the first vampiric tale, was the one that shaped our whole view of the fanged beast - Bram Stoker’s Dracula. From the 2022 movie The Invitation to Dracula: Prince of Darkness, there is a whole range of flicks to sink your teeth into, but none will ever be a better adaptation than Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula. 

Now, I’m not saying it is the most well-executed - I’m looking at you Keanu Reeves and that concerning English accent - but in terms of style, visuals, and staying true to its source material, Coppola’s Dracula ranks higher than any other retelling in my books.
