    I think Dracula would be considered a cult classic. I love it, the ridiculous acting, MFing Gary Oldman Dracula, the extreme stylization,the costumes, there’s just so much to love.

    It apparently has a tomato score of 74% which is perfect to me. All movies should strive to be 7/10s: not too polished and clean, not trying for mass appeal, but doing something so good and weird that it hits just right for some people and completely turns off others.

      I think it got panned for a reason when it was released. The first fifteen minutes have a very different tone from the rest of the movie. This isn’t Oldman’s best performance by a long shot. If you want a cheesy vampire movie, Renfield with Nicholas Cage as Dracula was substantially better.

      I guess. I’m definitely in the 26%.
