But thats okay, I love it simply for its color scheme, but also, it has some truly iconic images, some of the shots of Dracula are the best of the whole series, like when he gets stabbed with that giant stake on the chest...awesome scene! <br /><br />But its like you say, story wise, maybe its not the strongest film.
