what i liked most was that, unlike most recent productions, it didn't heavily rely on CGI. for example, the very brief montage alternating shots of dracula and shots of a wolf : no morphing involved !!! that's quite refreshing, and maybe more directors should take notice and not systematically resort to (imagination-free) state-of-the-art FX. also, the true identity of dracula is, though far-fetched, quite a find. it's no major movie, but well worth a try
