Watching this movie now gives the same effect it must have had in 1931. True, maybe the horror aspect of the film is very tame and not scary by today's standards, but the atmostphere is still as rich. From the beginning in the graveyard to the end of the film where the monster meets fate at the windmill, the look is just classic. I think one that thing that helps the film is how short it is. The plot is real fast and not as drawn out as Dracula. Man makes a monster, regrets it and tries to undo his mistake. That is basically the entire movie. With that said, the fast pace really makes the movie fly by and leaves me wanting more. It's the definition of classic to see Boris as the monster. Watch it! It's great :)

I never thought another movie could beat the original Lugosi film, but this movie comes very close. It takes the character of Dracula and makes him a horrible monster, but also sympathetic. You can't help but feel, and maybe understand, somewhat...

I never thought another movie could beat the original Lugosi film, but this movie comes very close. It takes the character of Dracula and makes him a horrible monster, but also sympathetic. You can't help but feel, and maybe understand, somewhat why Dracula does what he does. Gary Oldman is amazing in the title role and makes the character extremely believable. The special effects are incredible, and although it wasn't that long ago, the movie still holds up to this day. This will surely go down as a classic, and that is saying a lot for a remake. This movie brought a lot and delivers. I highly recommend this movie

Needless to say, this is a classic film in it't truest form. Bela Lugosi brought his own style to the character that has been copied ever since. He made vampires popular. Don't believe me? What do you think of when I say Dracula? Bela. The only...

Needless to say, this is a classic film in it't truest form. Bela Lugosi brought his own style to the character that has been copied ever since. He made vampires popular. Don't believe me? What do you think of when I say Dracula? Bela. The only downside to this film is the anti-climatic end of the movie. Dracula is killed too easy compared to the Dracula of recent movies, who seems almost impossible to kill.

It's pretty tame by today's standards, but the Toxic Avenger is still one of the best movies of the gore/horror genre that you can find today. How far have when come in society that it doesn't even phase me to see a kid getting his head run over...

It's pretty tame by today's standards, but the Toxic Avenger is still one of the best movies of the gore/horror genre that you can find today. How far have when come in society that it doesn't even phase me to see a kid getting his head run over by a car? That is only one of the many scenes that are very memorable from this movie. In the world of many superheroes, there is only one Toxic Avenger. If you love B-rated movies from the 80s, then this is for you. A classic for sure, but not everyone will find it appealing
