Dracula [O]pened on Friday the 13th, in February 1931, and had a very successful eight-day run. Then it, along with a silent version, which had been prepared for those theaters not yet capable of showing talkies, it opened nationally with little fanfare. In spite of the lack of publicity and the panning by critics (who as a rule tend to dislike horror movies), Dracula became the largest grossing movie of the year for Universal.

With a larger production, this movie could have been a lot larger than it was. That said, "Dracula" accomplishes what few Dracula movies are able to offer: an accurate look at the real Dracula. Review by George Castillo.
