Well, those who hold Browning's film as inferior will have to come up with some new arguments because Rhodes pretty much dashes the old ones. I can't think of a critical DRACULA history that's as persuasive in supporting its conclusions. David Skal's HOLLYWOOD GOTHIC comes to mind, but its claims and assertions now seem invalid.

If it won't change people's minds, at least Gary Rhodes' book has given DRACULA's admirers an up to date, relevant plea in their defense.
