Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is a gothic horror romance based on the classic novel by Bram Stoker. The story follows young solicitor Jonathan Harker, who travels to Transylvania to assist the mysterious Count Dracula with a property purchase in London. After discovering Dracula’s monstrous nature, Harker becomes trapped in the Count’s castle while Dracula journeys to England, where he becomes obsessed with Mina Murray, believing she is the reincarnation of his long-lost wife.

As Dracula’s influence spreads, a group led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing attempts to stop the vampire before he claims Mina completely. Combining lavish costumes, stylised visuals, and tragic romance with horror and supernatural themes, the film portrays Dracula not only as a terrifying predator but also as a lonely, cursed figure driven by love and grief. The story explores desire, immortality, temptation, and redemption against a richly atmospheric gothic backdrop.
