  Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Jan 2025

  Are some of the accents foul? Yes.
  Are we happy that Mina is infinitely more interesting than the Mina in the book? Yes... obviously.
  Was casting Keanu Reeves a bad choice? Also yes.
  Did Anthony Hopkins have the best and most accurate portrayal of Van Helsing? Yes, yes, yes.

  So, kudos to everyone that contributed to this feral, crackpot adaptation.

  Exhuma 2024

  ★★½ Added

  The potential of this film and the actual film are quite incomparable. A Korean take on the exorcism-horror-genre was a great idea but shouldn't have been at the expense of writing 3-dimensional characters and an actual B-plot.
