The opening shots are very creepy. We first see images of real preserved bodies filmed inside the catacombs of a Mexican graveyard. Then a slow motion shot of a flying bat in black-and-white is shown. This is followed by actress Isabelle Adjani awakening from a nightmare and screaming out in fright.
The scene where Harker meets Dracula. He prepares a meal for him and while Harker eats, Dracula never takes his eyes off him or even blinks. After a few minutes Harker cuts his finger and Dracula tries to suck the blood from it. When Harker pulls away, they stare at each other for a moment before Dracula knocks Harker's chair aside and moves toward him. Harker backs away into a chair in front of the hearth and Dracula visibly struggles to restrain himself.
The ending is even more horrifying than the original. Harker, now a vampire, leaves the plagued village to spread death elsewhere and presumably create more vampires.
