The tale begins with Jonathan Harker, journeying by train and carriage from England to Count Dracula's crumbling, remote castle situated in the Carpathian Mountains on the border of Transylvania. The purpose of his mission is to catalogue the big library of Dracula. At first enticed by Dracula's gracious manner, Harker soon discovers that he has become a prisoner in the castle. He also begins to see disquieting facets of Dracula's nocturnal life. One night while searching for a way out of the castle, and against Dracula's strict admonition not to venture outside his room at night, Harker falls under the spell of three wanton female vampires, the Brides of Dracula.

In his senior years, Dario Argento leaves his yellow brick road to have a go at gothic horror with Count Dracula. Tragically unsuccessful, the result is a stiff, non-atmospheric, cheap (the first boobs come out already five minutes in) dud, and the most interesting thing in it are the effects, which are bad in an utterly amazing way; here is when the film is at least funny. Unfortunately, there aren’t many of those effects (the “best” ones can be seen already in the trailer). And when you can’t even laugh at the effects, Argento’s Dracula is just a backdrop to boredom, with a very uncharismatic antihero on top of that. I’m giving it one star because I was expecting something a little worse. Rather than disappointment or mockery, I feel sad that one of the genre’s greats, which Argento certainly is, is involved in something like this. Maybe he will pull himself together and make a film that will be at least average. A filmography like his doesn’t deserve to end in this tragedy.
