Dracula (1979) (Blu-ray) koch films

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
This “Dracula” restores the pure character of his first film appearances in F. W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu” (1922) and Bela Lugosis (1931). "(Roger Ebert)

In search of the likeness of his deceased lover, Count Dracula settles down in London at the end of the 19th century. The new environment soon succumbs to the fascination of the Transylvanian nobleman. However, when mysterious deaths occur in society, Professor van Helsing is called to help. He reveals the count as a bloodsucking undead and sets about hunting him in a cruel battle. (1 Blu-ray)

Based on the first adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”, director John Badham (“The Flying Eye”, “War Games”) achieved a widely acclaimed, completely novel interpretation of the legendary material: instead of biting heartily-cruelly as usual, he drops Oscar ® nominee Frank Langella in the title role beguile his victims rather than bloodsucking charmer. Three-time Oscar® winner Sir Laurence Olivier as Professor van Helsing, assisted by Donald Pleasence (“Halloween”) as Dr. Seward is powerless at first, but then with resounding success.

Hi, Countdraacu here…

I checked out Koch Media Films site but sadly I haven’t found further info about this new release of Dracula appart from what you’ve already shared with us. However, some time ago I owned from them (Koch Media Films) the blu ray of Jack Arnold’s classic “Tarantula” and I can tell you they use the same prints facilitated by Universal Studios, so since Scream Factory attempt failed I guess this new release its the same Universal washed out crappy print we love and hate, but now including new extras like the Super 8 reel german version and new pictures, etc… I imagine it they were using our desired original theatrical color timing print it would be prominently advertised. So I guess we’ll have to wait until its released and some amazon commenters share with us their reviews about it.

Crossing my fingers they prove me wrong and make us all happy!

Thanks for the heads up though, I didn’t knew this was about to be released again in Germany.

Merry Chritsmas btw, ITHoTMK 😃
