Reeves acting is shockingly bad in Dracula. The most hammy, over the top acting performance of his career. It's a thing of beauty. The whole movie is just filled with excess. Acting, colours, camera work, set design, costumes. Every single detail is a step too far and really shouldn't work, but when you put it together its absolute class. It can go from being genuinely creepy to laugh out loud funny without missing a beat. The love story blends beauty and tragedy with something that you could barely get away with in a cheap midmorning melodrama. The whole movie is a contradiction and that's part of what makes it so special.... Looking forward to watching it.
