Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts, or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Rarer still are the movies that, while they're shooting, seem like disasters in the making but wind up being classics.

Francis Ford Coppola crafted a unique and gorgeous twist on the legendary vampire with the 1992 horror-romance BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA, starring Gary Oldman (an an iconic performance), Winona Ryder and a controversial Keanu Reeves. But the director certainly didn’t make it easy for himself, with an intensely method lead actor, personality conflicts, overly ornate costumes, studio squabbles, and all the challenges of using obsolete practical effects. Grab your crucifix and sharpen your stakes as we look at “WTF Happened to BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA!”

    “I have crossed oceans of time to find you.” Quite possibly the most romantic line in cinema history. 🦇🦇🦇
  • @harrysanders818
    The soundtrack of this movie is absolutely phenomenal. It is insane how well this composer brought the feelings the movie trys to convey to life. When you listen to it, its a movie on its own.
  • @rodtaylor5476
    Such a lush art film. All filmed on sets, all practical effects, beautiful costumes, fantastic acting, and one of the best horror movie scores ever recorded. It's simply a brilliant adaptation.
  • @barlotardy
    This was basically an art film, and I love the visuals. It's so gloriously weird.
  • @josoffat7649
    the optical effects of this movie blew my little 9 year old mind when it came out, they still hold up today
  • @Bearwolf13
    One of my all time favorite films, and it's mostly because of Gary Oldman's performance and just the overall look of the film. The costume designs are top notch!
  • @taranvainas
    Here in Europe Coppola's Dracula remains a highly admired classic and considered a masterpiece worthy of a great master. And I of course agree. I never liked any movie about Dracula (although I loved the novel!) Until I saw Coppola's. I left the theater in shock and then I have watched the movie more than 10 times. Its baroque style, its music, the costumes, the setting, the narrative, the actors, fascinate me. And the vampire in all his manifestations, especially that of a decrepit noble prisoner of his past.
  • WTF happened to this movie? It's sitting on my bookshelf encased in glass, with a Brass key lock to unlock it. Because it's a treasure.
  • @EdgedShadow
    I can't imagine how awful this would look now if they'd gone with late 90s cgi.
  • @11viewer77
    Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves where considered nobodys and Christian Slater was the big deal? Wow, how times have changed!

    I was 11 years old when this was released and I was of course not allowed to watch it then. But I saw trailers and clips. I cannot describe how the imagery spoke to me. It awakened something in me. When I finally saw it a few years later, it blew my mind. It is still one of my alltime favourite movies.
  • @judylee4649
    This my favorite Dracula movie. It tells the story behind Dracula and how he got to be such a monster. The overall cinematography, the sets, the costumes and makeup, made it a visual treat. Oldman was perfect for the lead and Ryder was a beautiful heroine. Keneau was kind of a 'meh', but he did ok. Anthony Hopkins was perfect as always.
  • @SimoExMachina2
    Police officer to Gary Oldman: "Have you been drinking booze, sir?". Gary: "I do not drrrrink...booze".
  • @picklesthewise
    Poor Keanu. Cannot get the accent right for the life of him but he is the sweetest little muffin top in this. The cinematography and costume design were brilliant, and Gary Oldman is great in literally everything. He could make a home movie about brushing his teeth and I would want it nominated for an Oscar.
  • I'm so sad Sadie Frost didn't go on to better things. She was a stand-out for me in this movie.
  • @evanhanley6437
    One of my favourite vampire films ever next to The Lost Boys and Interview With The Vampire.
  • @melvert33
    Count Dracula dude, I must commend on your totally bodacious castle...(air guitar)
  • @arthurballs2754
    I was 17 when this came out. Instant classic. God, the 90s were good.
