Soon Dracula drinks Minau0026#39;s blood killing her. Dr. Seward summons Minau0026#39;s father Prof. Abraham Van Helsing (Laurence Olivier) for the funeral but he arrives late.

Now Van Helsing, Dr. Seward and Jonathan have to protect Lucy from the powerful vampire.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Draculau0026quot; (1979) is an adaptation of Bram Stockeru0026#39;s novel with beautiful cinematography, haunting music score and a wonderful cast. However this is not my favorite adaptation of the novel. I prefer Werner Herzog u0026quot;Nosferatu: Phantom der Nachtu0026quot; of the same year and Francis Ford Coppolau0026#39;s version that was made thirteen years later (1992). My vote is six.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): Not Available on DVD or Blu-Ray”
