Critics Consensus

Buoyed by Caleb Landry Jones' haunting lead performance and Danny Elfman's lush score, Dracula reimagines the classic vampire myth as an emotionally charged gothic romance, yet its inconsistent tone holds it back from genre-defining greatness.

Here we are again, caught up in the never-ending slow-drip flood of cinematic Dracula mythology, now with Luc Besson’s wan, derivative, dutifully time-period-hopping, different-but-not-really-new take on the vampire legend.

C-

The cast’s deliveries on Besson’s punchlines are strong, and editor Lucas Fabiani keeps up his end of the deal when it comes to timing. But not even Jones isn’t funny or magnetic enough to sustain attention without the support of real suspense and allure.

The Travers Take

2/4

The bloodsucking Count is back again, but this time in a strangely bloodless love story that even wickedly seductive fangboy Caleb Landry Jones can’t save from the cliché stockpile

This Dracula isn't toothless – it just doesn't really have a voice. And with Eggers' version barely cold in its grave, the competition feels especially unforgiving.

Caleb Landry Jones pushes against the gothic archetype, [but this] Dracula is tonally inconsistent.

This is a version that emphasizes beauty more than darkness.

It was a good view of an old tale. A bit campy in spots, but enjoyable as well.

What I enjoyed the most from this film was that it wasn’t a traditional vampire horror film but a gothic romance that focused on a beautiful love story. The main cast delivered compelling performances, each performance was nuanced and emotionally convincing.

Luc Besson knocks it out of the park again! A retelling of a love story you can’t get enough of. Loved it! Hopefully there is an uncut version of this movie released at some point.

Amazing costumes, cinematography, music score. The first 30 minutes reminded me of my favorite movie, Excalibur. This Dracula is tormented by the loss of the love of his life. The funny parts kind of took away from the seriousness of the story but otherwise, a good watch.
