Oh Bella! You so crazy with those little lights pointing at your eyes!
Man, I have a hard time staying awake during this movie. It IS good, but everything moves in slow motion in it. It's based on a theatrical adaptation of the original Stoker novel and Lugosi actually had to campaign to keep the titular role in this adaptation. He's awesome in it, and totally creates everything that is still associated with the world's most notorious blood sucker. The supporting cast is pretty blahs-ville except for Renfield, who is played by Dwight Fry. Fry also played Fritz (the Igor character) in the original Frankenstein. It's kind of sad that he had just as much to do with some of the most recognizable characters in fiction as some of the other big names but rarely gets remembered. So, here's a shout out to him. I mean, ol' Bella only played Dracula one other time for cryin' out loud!
