As seems to be an iron clad law with all Dracula adaptations , liberties are taken with the story that result in it being yet another abomination.
The main thrust of the story is Arthur holmwood and his attempts at curing his inherited syphilis, utilising a strange blood cult and tricking Jonathan Harker into going to Transylvania knowing who he will find there??any of this sound familiar? no? because its nothing to do with the book at all. The actor playing Dr Seward in particular is incredibly bad. They don't even bother to hide his cockney accent or even consider how unlikely and unbelievable it would be to have a late Victorian era doctor with a working class London accent. This is all forgotten of course when you realise he cannot act.
A Dracula too young to play the role, and an accent that you cannot understand is the icing on this cake of awfulness. I don't know about Dracula
but I'm sure Bram Stoker is turning in his grave
