| Horror 100 No. 66 (Previously No. 95). OK, so it's incredibly dated and slow nowadays, but this was the first talky horror classic. Bela Lugosi is perfect as the Count, his Hungarian accent adds to his authenticity, as his hypnotic charms make him irrestistable to the Victorian women. Dwight Frye as Renfield, and Edward Van Sloan as Van Helsing are also excellent. But, overall, the film is so suprisingly static; it totally lacks the rank, gothic atmosphere that makes Frankenstein so memorable; and even though it's based on the play rather than the book, does it really need to confine so much of the action to one room? That said, its hard not to put this landmark movie into the top 100, afterall, it established the formula for vampire movies for the next 25 years, and made a star of Bela, so we shouldn't moan too much. |
