    It's funny how Langella's Dracula was so compelling and convincing, but never really frightening.
    Yet this actress playing Mina remains one of the most graphic interpretations in the genre I've ever seen.
    The scene between her and Larry Oliver is, at once, pure terror then incredible sadness.
    I can't think of any other scene in any other movie where such a sudden mix of emotions is performed so brilliantly.

    1992 version made more sense imo bc vampires need to be able to look human, for infiltration. "The greatest strength of the vampire is that no one will believe in him."

    The most ghoulish scene in the whole movie. And Van Helsing's heart must have broken to kill his own daughter, haunting him for the rest of his life. Which turned out to be rather short then, when he fought Dracula. First movie, in which almost the whole Van Helsing family got eradicated. Maybe already a generation's old fight against vampires, as he seems to possess some good experience "I underestimated your power to walk by daylight" I guess he didn't get his knowledge how to identify and fight vampires from a simple tutorial script. To me it looks rather like a family tradition, So finally Van Helsing's own death kinda relieved him from living on with the knowledge, that his end-opponent had robbed him of what he most loved. Why looks Mina like that? Remember Dracula in the first dinner; "I like women alive. And full of blood." Dracula identified Mina as a weak person, far from the mental strength he found in Lucy. So Mina was not that alive in his eyes. He could fed of her and then kind of skip her. She was no match for him, the less a longtime companion in immortality. Mina obviously died by being "sucked dry by him" and turned into a vampire after she died. There is a theory in vampire lore, that somebody to be turned willingly has to get a certain amount of vampire blood to fully turn to full "vampire glory and strength". Dracula turned her with such a minimum of blood, that she would simply die and come back as a weak creature, barely able to sustain herself, the less to rise to full power. He might already have found out at the dinner or before in the cave, where he took shelter after the ship wreckage. Dracula's eyes and heart were for Lucy from the beginning. As Lucy was this strong and awake, intelligent and mindful woman he fell in love with and wanted to spent his eternity with. Poor MIna was in a vampire's cruel point of view " a can (of blood)-tear open-drink and drop." Thru more than five centuries of his existence there must have been thousands of female and male victims, he just fed on to soothe his hunger and urge. Beside; to me it looks very strangewhen parents let their kids of age 4 or 6 yo watch a vampire movie, that makes pretty clear in the trailer, that this is no kid stuff like "The little Vampire". In my country were wide spread discussion if youngsters can watch "Hammer vampire movies" at age twelve, the less at age 4. I was 16 yo when Dracula by John Badham came into the movie theaters and I watched it.
