There's more authority and dread in how Lugosi delivers "...Come here." than most modern actors can muster in a blockbuster film. The score really helps to sell the horror of this moment, and the compulsion that Van Helsing is resisting.
As much as I like the music-less Original for how eerie and deathly quiet it is, I must admit that the nervous energy Glass‘ Score adds to the mix is very effective at creating its own kind of tension. I like both versions, for different reasons.
The original is better, I like the score but it distracts from the power of their performances. We don’t need music to be pulled in, all we need is Lugosi’s hand and voice.
Yeah I am not sure if I like it and it doesn’t seem to match the movement of the scene. It’s just playing in the background. There are not pauses or breaths. It’s just rolling through til the end.
The main issue people find with the score is that it’s mixed terribly, too loud when it shouldn’t be, interrupting in some scenes. I think if it were to be addressed in today’s time we have the editing software to handle the balance better. I think in this scene the score fits perfectly, but it varies through the film.
I conceptually understand the criticism but I don't get the issue. Often when people complain you can't hear what people are saying it turns out what theyre saying isn't worth listening to. People always assume when something is too loud it's the result of a mixing mistake and not the result of a creative choice. I'm mostly thinking about Tenet.
This classic scene from "Dracula"(1931) is much better with no music score! There are some scenes in movies best left unscored! A perfect example is John Barry's right decision to leave the fight scene between Red Grant and James Bond in the train compartment on the Orient Express in "From Russia With Love"(1963) unscored because the drama and brutality of the fight was so visually intense that Barry very astutely realized that music would only detract from the intensity of that famous movie scene!
I will fully admit that that scene, those two actors, did not NEED music to make this scene perfect, BUT, every. single. time. I watch this scene it gives me chills when the strings are at their peak and the tension in the scene is at its height and it is *gasp* *no words*. Brilliant!
@@rameee2589 Actually, the movie originally came out with no musical score (cause the technology was still in it's infancy). This score was added onto a 1999 DVD release.
You can say anything you like about this film but you can't deny there aren't many scenes in history where two actors have committed to the bit harder than these legends.
One of the best scenes in a wonderful film, and Glass's score really enhances it. Who even knew that was possible?
I think the Glass stuff ruins it
One of the best RUclips videos✨
@@reddhead2948Glass’ score can be pretty intrusive in many scenes, but I think this one nails it
The second "come here" is probably my favorite line in any film.
I think of every time I tell my children to ‘Come here” for the second time haha
Im sorry, I love the oroginal, but the Philip Glass score just completes this film.
I like it better with this score.
It's easier without music
@@tomfitzpatrick7335 by easier you mean better
@@reddhead2948 yeah probably

It so crazy how they were worried about his accent, when now it's imbedded in our minds permanently, that voice and accent is dracula
Goosebumps

The score really enhances some scenes (for example this one) but it's quite inappropriate in others (Dracula's introduction)
The most badass moment
Cuando se acerca repentinamente pareciera transformarse...hasta me asustó...fue genial!
Dracula: Come here!
Hellsing: You wot???
Wonderful. 🦇
Imagine that Count Dracula was talking about me to save Stefani from The Prince of Darkness himself to steak his heart with a cross

No music please !
"Now that you have learned what you have learned, it would be well for you to return to your *OWN* country."
Wow, Dracula is Hungarian and he's a nationalist.....he should get into politics, he sounds like Viktor Orban.
The music ruins the scene

I don't care if you hate the music update but you have to admit the score here is pretty badass, one of my favorite scores from the film
I have a roku tv and this Dracula with this music on it. I can’t watch anything else but this version. It’s the most amazing comparison

a lot better with score

Chills. Oh man! Who could not love this movie with or without the score! ❤️❤️❤️
Come...Heeya
When I first saw this scene with the music, my mind was blown. It was THAT epic!
wow i love this but its just a tad too loud.
Yes. Could have been a bit subtler.
The force is strong with Van Helsing as he could resist the vampyre mind trick.

Awesome !!!!!
Какой же был актер Бела Бласко.Как с ним жизнь в итоге обошлась.Хороший был актёр.
Hermosa obra y philip glass wow
Im gonna try the Dracula approach on a woman in a bar. If I dont soon report back, I will probably need some bail money.
You need bail?
Where can I stream the whole film?! So good

@@themoviemason can u post the link i searched but no results found ☹️
Weak score
johnnynoirman yeah this was made oh idk almost 90 years ago. But of course it sounds dated
@@rameee2589 Actually, the movie originally came out with no musical score (cause the technology was still in it's infancy). This score was added onto a 1999 DVD release.
And honestly I can’t watch it any other way. Tho I did purchase the original with no music. But the music just pulls you in hypnotically!
@@cossegoji2kofficialchannel60I thought it was 1998
Lame
