Dann, Count Dracula.. But in this movie, the count is not longer the bloodthirsty monster of our nightmares. Instead, Ws an ,entteingi. romantic -braking nobleman who gust 'happens to have the annoying Problem of needing. a Constant supply of fresh blood - often: from his neighbours - .to ' keel?, going, It's unfortunate that when the count nibbles on your neck; :there's the -risk you won't survive the first date and that you'll find sudden, and perhaps unwanted. utiniertality yourself, as a fellow vampire with flashing eyes and drooling iips and the strange habit of turninginto a bat after the sun goes down.

Now on Saturday afternoon, when 1. decided to escape the hot, crowded sidewalks of London by dropping into an air,e:oiaditioned theatre to see the latest fusion of the Dracula myth starring the a forententioned Mr. Langella, Sir Laurence Olivier and London, Ontario's own native daughter, actress Kate Nelligan, 1 Was pleasantly surprised. The newest Dracula, with its beautiful photography, will still. send chills up and down your spine (and I. found I clutched my throat protectively during the entire movie) but this Count Dracula story isstrangely amusing, very erotic and not the kind: of tale that younger horror fans will appreciate. By the end of the movie, you'll find yourself hoping the suave -looking vampire will escape the clutches of his, pursuers .tg charm the lades: once again, Now as 1 left the theatre. 1 couldn't help wondering how a modern-day Lucy (the Kate Nelligan role), who just happens to' be dating a man who's a vampire, would break the news to her family.
