There is something hilarious about the fact that Dracula is so lonely that he had to disguise himself as a cab driver, bring the guy to the castle, rush inside in a hurry and quickly change his clothes to greet him

Add on top of that having to not only prepare supper and breakfast while remaining unseen, and if that wasn't enough he had to clear the table once again without Harker noticing - It's hilarious to imagine the count scrambling to get everything set so seamlessly.

@@88feji Something tells me he wouldn't have asked them to, the trio were a sort of rogue element in that he knew they could not be trusted to keep up a facade of normalcy without wavering in their self-control to get at Jonathan. The impression is often given that the count is the sort of man that prefers to do things himself, or that he only trusts himself to do a task correctly. As for his powers, yes he does indeed employ his magic to help him expedite any mundane task but the comedy of it all comes from the fact that he's attempting to keep up appearances in the first place - funnier still is that Jonathan proved himself perceptive and shrewd enough to see beyond the charade, giving a hint that the count makes mistakes and isn't in full control of the situation at all times like he desires. * I am so terribly sorry for droning on like this - I adore the book and the movie to bits.

It's scenes like this that make the movie for me. Sets the atmosphere brilliantly, so creepy. Using diary entries to narrate the film was simple but genius.

I greatly appreciate FFC's insistance on not using CGI special effects especially at a time when it was becoming more and more popular with filmakers and audiences. Today it just seems like a lazy approach to film and makes me love this particular film even more. This scene thoroughly freaked me out especially with the way the horses and carriage make almost no noise as it travels across the ground. So creepy...so awesome!

This movie has its problems - Keanu and Winona are miscast - but I love it for the pieces it gets right, its production design and sense of atmosphere. The journey to Dracula's castle should feel like this; a journey into another dimension, all shadow and dark fantasy.

I have nothing against Keane but Wynona acts like a frozen piece of meat. There were many other actresses of her age for this role like Penelope Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mylene Farmer, Uma Thurman, Sherilyn Fenn, Emmanuelle Seigner, Marie Trintignant and they could even get an infamous actress for that role to make Mina more mysterious

Bram Stoker's Dracula is actually established in Castlevania lore. The Vampire Killer was momentarily handed to the Morris family, an offshoot of the Belmonts, and in fact it's Quincy the one who gives D the killing blow in both book and movie (so late 1800s), then the whip was passed to his son John (from the game Bloodlines set in 1917) and grandson Jonathan (from Portrait of Ruin, set in 1944) and would return to the Belmont only for the last Dracula killer Julius in 1999. Sorry for geeking out a bit, just a piece of trivia

The English gentlemen would have pressed the coach driver. "I say man is the castle far? I am talking to you coachman." He just continues this approach until he forces the drivers hand.

I actually think the driver was very gentle it was quite solicitous of him to lift him like a baby into the car. He loves his job.

The scene with the carriage is just laughable. Keanu's blank face reaction to the sudden appearance of a wolf with glowing eyes, plus the talon fingered driver, perfectly demonstrate why he was the wrong actor for this film.

What crap. The appearance of the Count at the door way to his castle is not like the Count portrayed in the film. He looks a rather ordinary old man with a drooping white moustache and a grey receding hair line,.and nothing like the fancy bouquet like hair combed like a bees nest. This Cuppola of a film director is mutilating and degrading the very events of Harker's journey to the Castle of Dracula or Dracul narrated by Bram Stoker, the author. Don't upload such maligned version of the novel. Francis Cuppola must be held accountable for vilification of the gothic tale. A rascal of a film director with no compunction to alter the basis of the story of Dracula.Another incongruity with novel is this laughing Count with his child's hair bow at its peak, which we don't find in the concocted story based on the historical events of Vlad the Impaler of Transylvania or the territory of Romania bordering the Carpathian mountain ranges. It is time multitude of film and theatrical producers reign in their own vilification of the original narrative.
