Horror Vault's take

Werner Herzog's sumptuous reimagining of the Dracula legend follows a young estate agent who travels deep into the Carpathian mountains on a routine business errand — only to find himself ensnared by a being of ancient, insatiable hunger. What begins as a journey of commerce becomes a slow descent into nightmare, as a creeping shadow reaches back across the miles to threaten everything the man left behind. Visually ravishing and steeped in melancholy, this is a vampire film that treats its monster as a figure of genuine, existential dread rather than mere menace. Klaus Kinski's unforgettable portrayal elevates the film into something closer to a waking dream than a conventional horror story.
