Bram Stoker's Dracula 4K UHD (1992) (25th Anniversary Edition)

[SB0780]

One of the few films I missed out on a slip cover and REALLY wish I got one, it never appears on ebay for sale, must be extremely rare.
Either way, this is one of my favorite releases of a 90's film and one I watch ever Halloween season.

Just for the slip? I got mine still, but did not notice the crease on the side that goes up all the way to the left side barely.

Yeah, this one is definitely on the Halloween watch slate for me too. I'd say it's one of my favorite movies these days and I really like the UHD.

This one is currently on sale on Amazon.CA for $11.99. I've never seen it so it's a blind buy for me.

It's definitely a very interesting take on Dracula. Visually stunning and almost like a fantasy popup book come to life. There are genuine moments of pure creepiness. Hopkins and Oldman chew up the scenery and their scenes are the very best parts of the film. Don't mind Keanu... he's just... well... Keanu and only a minor part of the proceedings. Sadie Frost is truly sumptuous in the role of Lucy. She acts better than Winona here and probably should have been the lead actress, though she was not a big star at the time.

Aside from the wonky accent, Keanu actually does a great job of portraying Harker exactly as intended - a ridiculously stiff, naive young man with the emotional range of a bowling ball.

I just recently saw it for the first time on UHD. it was a very weird and creepy movie. I have to say everyone did a very good job in the movie and I enjoyed the movie as a whole. But I'm not sure it's one I can rewatch often. it's too creepy for my tastes. I don't often watch scary movies or horror movies. I have enough of that in my own life without the need to watch movies about it. Though I will say I am not disappointed by this movie. Nor am I upset that I bought it.

Grabbed it and I'll be getting it tomorrow. I guess it sold out quickly afterwards.

So I finally watched this last night and I seem to remember that previous versions had English translations, specifically in the opening scene. This one did not, unless subtitles are turned on. Am I remembering it correctly?

My apologies if this was asked before but I did a quick search and found nothing.

Right...I do not own the 4K release but the translations begin during the battle and again once we see Anthony Hopkins on screen. You should not have to enable subtitles. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

The subtitles should be automatic for the few scenes they're used in.

It's a little annoying that they're player-generated, as the original film used a specific font and color to mesh with the overall look, but you shouldn't have to turn anything on.

Just checked this, they're player-generated, nothing burned-in.

I have the slip from the original Blu-ray... but yeah...the 4K one is pretty rare at this point.

So... I just acquired this disc and remembered this conversation about the subtitle issues when I didn't see them in the prologue. I turned on the player subtitles and then I had subtitles for everything- even where they shouldn't be. There are two English options and both of them played subtitles over everything. What gives? Anybody else experience this? I was happy with the blu, but this is a favorite so it was nice to see it in a more vivid form, but this issue is a dealbreaker if there's no workaround.

Edit: Close Encounters is also missing the original burnt-in subtitles, but the player generates them without issue. But speaking of subtitles, if The Godfather movies see the light of day in the next year, I'm a little hesitant if this is gonna be an ongoing issue with the format. I know they're two different studios, but...

[Pyoko]

It's a shame, perhaps the added cost of doing separate encodes/authoring for international editions is a reason.

As for The Godfather it will likely not have burned-in subtitles because they went back to the original negatives for many of those sections for the 4K restoration, however the subtitles on the Blu-ray were styled so hopefully they'll do the same for the UHD release. If they were anything like the theatrical subtitles I don't know, but at least they look better than the usual generic ones.
