Mel Brooks does it again with this send-up of vampire films. That Leslie Nielson plays the great blood-sucking count gives viewers a good idea as to what they are in for. This Dracula takes himself very seriously despite the fact that he's a bit of a klutz with a tendency to slip in the bat… More

Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    Either this is the lamest Mel Brooks comedy ever or it's too close to other contenders to make much difference.

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    The only real sparks are set off by MacNicol as Renfield, the solicitor who develops a taste for flies and spiders after being bitten by Dracula.

  • , Time Out

    Brooks, as Van Helsing, is one of the more successful aspects, but he hasn't imbued in his stock company a similar ability to rise above their underwritten roles.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    Slight but amusing.

  • David Kronke, Los Angeles Times

    Not to venture forth some sort of radical idea, but aren't comedies supposed to have jokes?

    Underrated vampire spoof from master of parody, Mel Brooks; Dracula: Dead and Loving It is a fun horror comedy from start to finish. Though not as great as other Mel Brooks films, this is still a very funny film. This film will appeal to horror comedy fans as much as Mel Brooks fans.… More

    Jonathan Harker: She's alive? Van Helsing: She's Nosferatu. Jonathan Harker: She's Italian? As with every Mel Brooks movie, Dracula: Dead and Loving It is incredibly stupid. With some of his movies like Blazing Saddles that's ok because they are extremely… More

    As of this writing, this is the last Mel Brooks movie ever made. Is it particularly watershedding like his previous classics Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein? No, it's not, but that doesn't matter much. For me, ANY Mel Brooks movie is an event, regardless of… More

    A good decent spoof of Bram Stokers Dracula, and many a Hammer horror film. It has the king of spoof films in Leslie Nielsen being very silly indeed. Very light hearted by todays standards. A good fun film with some impressive sets I have to add!
