George Melford’s Dracula. Well? It’s an odd combination of being very like Dracula, but then going off in weird directions. Seemingly filmed on the same sets as Dracula, concurrently, but at night?

It’s Renfield who goes (secretly this time?) to meet the count at his castle and Harker is a very minor character. The Count is played much different. Especially once in England, where he is very public and social… Even socializing with Dr Seward and Professor Von Helsing? Kind of odd.

But Dracula has some great expressions, well, a number of the characters hold some pretty dramatic expressions here and there, especially Renfield.

But all in all it was enjoyable, and strangely different and strangely similar.
