Dracula 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman October 24, 2021

Universal and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive UHD SteelBook release for the legendary 1931 Horror film 'Dracula.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release, which is at time of writing only available as part of the four-film UHD Classic Monsters Collection with 'Frankenstein,' 'The Invisible Man,' and 'The Wolf Man'. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Dracula 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Universal's matte SteelBook follows in the film's footsteps as a black-and-white presentation. Lugosi's Dracula hovers on the front, emerging from some light fog below, his castle in the misty distance. His hands are held up as if like claws ready to grab a victim. There's a mean snarl on his face, completing a classic pose. The rear panel depicts Dracula carrying a sleeping Mina Seward down dark, eerie stairs with a light fog hovering at the bottom. Small studio and legalese appears bottom left in white and a model number bottom right, also in white. The spine is black with the film's title in white, center. A Universal logo appears at the bottom.

Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features Dracula, firmly on the right, hovering over a sleeping Lucy Weston, whose head is firmly bottom left.

Dracula 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

This is a handsome SteelBook. The black-and-white design is genius. The UHD inside is spectacular and this whole package earns my highest recommendation.
