The best line in the movie and one of the greatest in film history IMO occurs when Dracula offers Renfield some wine.  

Renfield:  Aren't you drinking?

Dracula:  I never drink...wine.

Are you talking to me? I'm such a good fellow that it pains me to watch such a fine actor as DeNiro lay an egg, oh boy does this movie stink. Okay it does have one nice scene when the monster's mate catches fire in the corridor other than that nothing and it was directed by a Belfast born director Kenneth Branagh. Funny story I had a job during the Eighties as a cemetary supervisor whose job was to landscape the surrounding area. One day a film crew arrived to film the last of a trilogy of television plays starring Mr Branagh, his co-car was more well known at the time locally so my manager asked myself and two of my crew if we would get his autograph for his "DAUGHTER"? Off we went and we met this co-star who turned out to be a very likeable person, so we stood talking to him when the director came over to  us and asked would anyone like to play a gravedigger for a short scene. The co-star tried to encourage us to give it a try however two of us chickened out because we were afraid of being made a laugh off when the film would be shown. The third filmed his scene and was mocked no end by the rest of our 70 strong team, one more bit of trivia Branagh won't let these films be shown as he is now so well known? Not a fan of Mr Branagh although I did enjoy his Universal horrors documentary.

Ah but did you know that the wine represents blood as in the body and blood of Christ,  By the way that's my own theory copyrighted to TV horror.

The Frankenstein chronicles is a very clever take on the legend and Sean Bean is fantastic in the role it should be viewable on Netflix or cable.

I agree,but only if they use the Jack Pierce/Karloff look. None of these modern looks.

Only the most famous one.

I agree with your review. When I watched this it was a snoozer. What a disappointment it was.

Aha! Here in lies the secret to a great Frankenstein movie, the Karloff look won't work because it has been lampooned too much. From adverts to comics then comedy movies on through, no it would only get laughs now. I remember as a child first seeing the Karloff monster in a clip on a cinema review programme in the early 60's, it frightened the life out of me. Why? Because it was the hall scene were you heard him coming stamp stamp the footsteps came nearer...Then suddenly the door burst open and there stood not the monsters face but the back of his head, then he slowly turns and for the first time we get to see this creature up close! I cannot describe the feeling of fear I had that evening but what I can tell you is it awoke a love for the monster and horror in general which still burns bright to this very moment. Karloff IS unique in this role and I don't believe he will ever be bettered or a more classic Frankenstein movie will ever be made it is a one of a kind. My Karloff Frankie.
