A gothic horror classic that trades visceral scares for atmospheric dread, building paranoia and darkness through the slow corruption of an innocent man and the vampire's predatory infiltration of civilized society.

A British estate agent travels to Transylvania to meet the mysterious Count Dracula, who is interested in leasing a London castle. After Dracula enslaves the agent and drives him to insanity, the pair return to London together, where Dracula, a secret bloodsucker, begins preying on socialites.
