Dracula (1931)

This movie reveiw is different than most. Taking into account how old it is I am not going to rate it out of ten. Recently I read the book Dracula and watched this movie for a school project. I guess it was good for its time but definitely does not hold up well now. All the nostalgia buffs would probably argue with that last statement but truthfully who really enjoys watching movies this old besides film students and old people. I really enjoyed the book so this review may be somewhat biased since the movie was quite a bit different than the book. This movie was originally a play and did so sucessfully that it was made into a movie. Bela Lugosi is the star and he is considered the face of Dracula by many. I on the other hand thought his face was ridiculously funny when he was trying to be scary. I really like some old movies but this was just not my cup of tea.
