Movie Reviews
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) From our 1992 review: "There's more goo than boo in Bram Stoker's Dracula. The new Francis Ford Coppola concoction is a blood-soaked plum pudding of a movie -- saccharine, horrific, perhaps a little rummy. It's sodden fun, until the vapors clear and the richness starts to cloy. ¶ Romantic and campy, full of pomp and ritual, this Dracula is deliriously maximal -- the sort of film in which one stabs the cross on a stone altar and the whole church starts to hemorrhage gore, or where the shock-cut from a dispatched vampire, in her wedding gown, is a huge platter of rare roast beef. The images throughout are layered with voluptuous superimpositions and bizarre match dissolves. The screen ripples with experimental bits of business -- just about any three-minute chunk could be dropped into heavy rotation on MTV." -- J. Hoberman
