Having resisted watching this just because I love the 1922 version so much, and remaking it seemed blasphemous, I broke down and gave it a try just because I love Herzog and Kinski so much.
Well, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it! The photography was beautiful, and the spread of the Plaque with Dracula's arrival in London was a nice touch. Kinski was certainly scary looking, and Roland Topor as Renfield seemed to be Dwight Frye inspired.
The only problem I had was the dialogue given to Isabelle Adjani which was forced and silly. And Harker's seeming stupidity at not freaking out the second he laid eyes on Dracula (I mean, c'mon-the guy has fangs!) Of course- it's a fantasy/horror film, and it IS Herzog.
A great film-and highly recommended!

I like both versions as well.  I still have my VHS copy of the '79 version that I bought in the late '90s.

Did you know that there was a sequel?  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091651/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_3

It also has some beautiful photography, but the story is a mess.  Definitely classifies as a bad movie.  The whole movie appears to be on youtube.  View that one at your own risk. TeddyR

If you like Nosferatu in any form you owe it to yourself to see 'Shadow of the vampire'.  You'll be glad you did.

I've seen it. It's interesting. I like that Max Schrek gets drunk.  Drink

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
