A seductive retelling of the legendary tale, BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA is Francis Ford Coppola's opulent, erotic, blood-filled feast. Count Dracula (played with irresistible intensity by Gary Oldman) reunites with his soul mate, Mina (Winona Ryder), after four centuries. Mina's friend Lucy (Sadie Frost) succumbs to the deadly bite of Dracula while Renfield (Tom Waits), locked in an asylum, eagerly waits for his master's return. Mina's fiance, Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves), with the help of the eccentric Professor Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins), attempts to save Mina's life and soul before she can become Dracula's eternal bride.After Dracula attacks Mina's friend Lucy (Sadie Frost), Dr. Jack Seward (Richard E. Grant) calls in the legendary Professor Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins) to cure Lucy's disease of the blood. Jonathan escapes from the castle and he and Mina are married while Lucy dies and is resurrected as a vampire. When Dracula appears to Mina in her sleep, she declares her undying love for him. Professor Van Helsing, Jack Seward, and Lucy's fiance, Arthur Holmwood (Cary Elwes), join Jonathan and travel to Transylvania to destroy Dracula, but Mina tries to save her tortured lover.Musician Tom Waits appears in the film as Renfield, a Victorian lunatic singing the praises of Dracula. Ornate costume design and lighting awash in shades of blood make this film a seductive and scary must-see.In his version of the oft-told tale, Francis Ford Coppola takes Bram Stoker's archetypical horror story and accentuates the romantic angle. Blood still flows in large amounts, and Coppola opted to do all the eye-pleasing visual effects in-camera, utilizing shadow puppets, smoke, miniatures, and other time-honored tricks of the trade--creating a visual style not unlike that of a storybook come to life.

An entertainingly ridiculous entry in the canon of lesser-known giallo flicks, FRENCH SEX MURDERS is a wild exploitation romp featuring some of the most luminous of the genre starlets. Robert Sacchi, who throughout his career took advantage of his remarkable resemblance to Humphrey Bogart (one of the film's alternate titles is BOGEYMAN), stars as Inspector Pontaine. Pontaine is investigating a seemingly open-and-shut case of a prostitute's murder, with the prime suspect a small-time jewel thief named Antoine Gottvalles (Pietro Martellanza). Gottvalles is convicted and sentenced to death, but vows to revenge his wrongful execution from beyond the grave. When others who were present at the brothel start to get picked off, it seems he is making good on his curse. The rest of the film involves a mad scientist in the market for eyeballs, a couple of decapitations, a hooded assassin, and some topless women, with top-notch special effects delivered by Oscar winner Carlo Rambaldi. Anita Ekberg (LA DOLCE VITA, KILLER NUN), Evelyn Kraft (LADY DRACULA), Howard Vernon (DOCTEUR JEKYLL ET LES FEMMES, DELICATESSEN), Rosalba Neri (DAUGHTER OF FRANKENSTEIN, MARQUIS DE SADE: JUSTINE), also appear.
