The Inspiration behind this video: It's one of the most roundly reviled performances in horror movie history, but Keanu Reeves' much-maligned turn as Jonathan Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula is the film's unheralded secret weapon. Released in 1992, Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of the Irish author's famous vampire novel received a mixed critical reception upon release. Like many adaptations, Bram Stoker's Dracula often diverged from the source novel, and the film was praised for adding a tragic gothic romance to what is traditionally a more straightforward story of good and evil.

The movie's flaws were also expounded upon, with some reviewers criticizing its over-the-top moments and long run-time. Special scorn was reserved for Keanu Reeves' turn as Jonathan Harker. Although the character is traditionally Dracula's ostensible protagonist, in Coppola's version of Stoker's story, Jonathan plays second fiddle to a more empathetic and centered version of the titular Count. Thank You So Much For Watching!
