What happens

Dracula is a 1979 gothic horror film directed by John Badham. The film stars Frank Langella in the title role as well as Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence and Kate Nelligan. The film is based on Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula and its 1924 stage adaptation, though much of Stoker's original plot was revised to make the film more romantic, as advertised by the tagline "A Love Story". The film received mostly positive reviews and was a moderate box office success. It won the 1979 Saturn Award for Best Horror Film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
