Critics Consensus

Buoyed by Caleb Landry Jones' haunting lead performance and Danny Elfman's lush score, Dracula reimagines the classic vampire myth as an emotionally charged gothic romance, yet its inconsistent tone holds it back from genre-defining greatness.

Here we are again, caught up in the never-ending slow-drip flood of cinematic Dracula mythology, now with Luc Besson’s wan, derivative, dutifully time-period-hopping, different-but-not-really-new take on the vampire legend.

C-

The cast’s deliveries on Besson’s punchlines are strong, and editor Lucas Fabiani keeps up his end of the deal when it comes to timing. But not even Jones isn’t funny or magnetic enough to sustain attention without the support of real suspense and allure.

2/4

The bloodsucking Count is back again, but this time in a strangely bloodless love story that even wickedly seductive fangboy Caleb Landry Jones can’t save from the cliché stockpile

4/5

There will be teeth-gnashing comparisons to Eggers’ Nosferatu (2024), adapted from Murnau’s 1922 fan-fic of Stoker’s 1897 novel, yet Besson’s Dracula feels like its moonlit counterpart rather than its echo, brothers from another mother, if you will.

This Dracula isn't toothless – it just doesn't really have a voice. And with Eggers' version barely cold in its grave, the competition feels especially unforgiving.

Caleb Landry Jones pushes against the gothic archetype, [but this] Dracula is tonally inconsistent.

I would have preferred it to be a bit more serious. Some of the "helper" characters distracted from the drama.

The story moves quickly and all actors did an A-1 performance. The changes in the classic story are a nice nuance! Much homage is paid to the Gary Oldman movie. I enjoyed seeing Caleb as the lead. I new he would get one someday since his Banshee on "X-Men: First Class! I think the ratings from Rotten Tomatoes, etc., were far too low.
