Well, it is the return of Dracula in everything but name. Tod Browning's direction is often more impressive here than in the original, pioneering Dracula, and he certainly has a more eventful story to play with. However, it seems vital chunks of the story may well have been cut, for example, the explanation as to why Lugosi's character had a bloodied temple is not here. Lugosi, John Barrymore and especially Carroll Borland are excellent, but the final twist comes as something of a disappointment. Very old and very, very creepy., SPOILERS, but I'm sure most people know about this movie already.....I suppose what would disappoint Bela Lagosi fans is that he is not a vampire, but is an vampire actor. What really makes this ...
