ZEDD'S OPINION:

This is a classic and I do recommend it to anyone who enjoys the classics, but perfect no. True, Bela gives his finest performance as the Count and yes there is this creepy atmosphere that works. However, and this is kind of a big one for me. No vampire fans, I don't know if it was they fact they may not have existed yet, it's still a bit of a downer for me. 8 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I agree with Zedd on this one, and I like to add like many movies of the time period, this movie lags several times. It slows down and takes time to get back going. 8 STARS as well.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ STORY (Basically it works.)
+ PERFORMANCES (That's what makes it worth watching.)
+ SPOOKY ATMOSPHERE (It's that creep vibe.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- SLOW (Kind of slow at times.)
- NO FANGS (No vampire fangs is a let down to me.)

...AND FINALLY...

- FAN BASED (If you aren't fans of these older movies or vampires in general, then this isn't for you.)
