Bram Stoker's Dracula (Superbit)
Superbit DVDs utilize a special high bit rate digital transfer process that optimizes video quality and offers a choice of both DTS and 5.1 Dolby Digital audio. All Superbit DVDs start with high definition masters and double the bit rate of the original release.
Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins and Keanu Reeves star in director Francis Ford Coppola's visually stunning, passionately seductive version of the classic Dracula legend.
In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Coppola returns to the original source of the Dracula myth, and from that gothic romance, he creates a modern masterpiece. Gary Oldman's metamorphosis as Dracula - who grows from old to young, from man to beast - is nothing short of amazing. Winona Ryder brings equal intensity to the role of a young beauty who becomes the object of Dracula's devastating desire. Anthony Hopkins co-stars as the famed doctor who dares to believe in Dracula, and then dares to confront him. Opulent, dazzling and utterly irresistible, this is Dracula as you've never seen him!

Good story, bad acting - mrhaines
I thought the story of this movie was excellent, however, some of the acting was sub-par. Keanu Reeves and Wynona Ryder were horrendous. Their acting was so bad at some points that it pulled me right out of the story. Gary Oldman was excellent however. A good movie with a very artistic filming style.A Great HORROR FLICK - E-Man
It is a classic romantic horror. The history of Dracula and Mina is the key to all the events. I like the way the directer shoots the scenes, especially how 2 things go on at the same time. (Dracula killing Lucy/Mina getting married) Their love is expressed beautifully in this film.
Winona Ryder is the perfect actress to play Mina because there is not one single place on her that you can disagree on. Her class is wonderful and all. I like the ending, too.
Wonderful movie! A must-see! I really can't describe how much I love this movie by words! See it yourself!This is a SuperBIT DVD... - Steiny
The previous review by cyrus is completely unjustified because this DVD is not meant to have all the extras. This is a SuperBit DVD. Most of the space on the DVD is dedicated to providing the best picture quality possible for current DVD size limits.
If you are looking for the extras, etc, get the the regular version of the DVD.
