I don't really need to put up a description for this now, do I?
Decided since I woke up WAY too early for work, I'd give this a watch. I didn't watch it all the way through yet, but so far I've been extremely disappointed.
This movie has a lot going for it. The soundtrack is excellent, the atmosphere and cinematography are amazing, and Klaus Kinski is creepy as hell as Count Dracula (why the name change I wonder?).
Every other actor is very "meh" to me, and overall the movie is just rather dull. There are long stretches with no dialogue at all which look nice, but get tedious after a while, and thus far there are not nearly enough scenes with Dracula in them. The portrayal of Renfield is also incredibly annoying since he cackles incessantly after pretty much every sentence he utters. I kept finding myself nodding off and stopped watching around the 75 minute mark. I'll probably finish it up later tonight, but sadly, I'm not looking forward to it.
I was really excited to see this, especially after reading so many fantastic reviews about it and being a big fan of Klaus Kinski. It's definitely not a Pits of Hell worthy film, but it's still not good.

English. Didn't feel like reading subtitles at 8 AM.

I've never seen this one. I've wanted to, and I remember trying to decide over it and others at the video store with my kids.
I guess they always picked another or I found a flashier cover.
This one is making it's way to BD soon as well, but I guess anyone that has seen the original might give it a pass unless they just want to own it to have it.

I already have this (bought it when Tomas did), and I think I'll give it a watch soon to see how I feel about it. Might start with the German version.
