Based on Bram Stoker's classic novel, the movie defined the cinematic portrayal of Count Dracula and laid the groundwork for the horror genre that followed.

Bela Lugosi's performance as Dracula is mesmerizing and chilling. With his commanding presence, slow, melodic speech, and piercing gaze, Lugosi created a Dracula who is as seductive as he is menacing. His portrayal is so distinctive that even today, nearly a century later, many associate the image of a vampire with the version Lugosi brought to life.

The film's atmosphere is haunting and mysterious, thanks to Tod Browning's masterful direction. The sets, particularly Dracula's castle, evoke a sense of otherworldly terror. The use of lighting and shadows is exemplary, heightening the drama and fear. Although the film was made during the early years of sound cinema, the lack of music in many scenes enhances the eerie silence, making the horror even more effective.

Overall, this film remains a timeless masterpiece of horror cinema. It is a film worth watching not only for its historical significance but also for the unique atmosphere it creates. Bela Lugosi, with his unforgettable performance, gave the world a Dracula who will forever haunt our imagination.

A true masterpiece about the life and extrordinary work of a true legend, one of the very few of his kind still alive today. This documentary was so well made that even if it was 7 hours long it would still not be enough to honor all the incredible work the great maestro John Williams has done over so many decades on so many films. This world would not have been the same without the music that he has wrote over the years. Our parents grew up listening to it and so did we and I hope that the next generations will keep John's music to their heart. People like John Williams are great examples of talent and humanity and I hope that he is in good health and mind to keep up the amazing work, so that he receives more Oscar nominations. I wish the same for the people behind this documentary to get this to the Oscars 'cause a film about one of the people with the most Oscar nominations in the world, clearly would be Oscar-worthy.

A cool concept ruined by the lack of a plot, character development and any kind of action. It didn't even make an effort to introduce us to the characters and just expected you to know Rudolf Walter Richard Heß's family. Also it didn't really care to show us any serious scene about the holocaust or even the interior of Auschwitz or the horrors happening inside. Didn't they have the bugdet to show something like this? Moreover there were two weird sequences with a black and white filter that wanted to showcase something not really clear. The music was mediocre and dull at points. The only good thing about this film was the cinematography and the sound. Other than that any buffoon with enough spare time and resources could have made a better film on that matter.
