Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
david fransissy I didn't like myself in the movie, it was a big walking dead ripoff, i wish i could take this back. Super cringy especially my parts as Jesus. If i could do this again I would not have hired a cast that included me, i realize now that I'm not an actor or a good employee in fact I lost multiple jobs and was fired as a teacher, goodluck to everyone but my acting career is definitely shot.
willhaskew So here's the bare bones. Dracula is alive, kept in stasis by Abraham Van Helsing since 1887. Van Helsing has regularly injected himself with the vampire's blood to sustain his life. His protégé, Simon Sheppard-whom is officially nicknamed Puddles due to his tendency to follow Van Helsing like a puppy, believes his mentor is merely Van Helsing's descendant. A group of the stupidest on screen thieves ever conceived break into Van Helsing's antique store and come across the coffin of Dracula. Assuming it's valuable, they take it with them on a plane to New Orleans. Dracula attacks the thieves after being inadvertently revived. Their plane crashes in a Louisiana swamp and Dracula escapes. Van Helsing, realizing the coffin is gone and Dracula may be awake, follows with Puddles close behind. Dracula is looking for Van Helsing's daughter, Mary, since she was conceived after Van Helsing was injecting himself with the vampire blood, there's some magical hoodoo about her being a dhampir or something. Dracula quickly eats three women, making them 'brides' which in turn ambush and murder Van Helsing after he arrives in The Big Easy. Puddles is left alone without training pads and the responsibility of finding Mary before Dracula can have his way with her.So, not only is this movie bad, the soundtrack is filled with early millennial nu-metal and rap-metal bands who suck: Saliva, Papa Roach, Disturbed, (hed)p.e., Taproot, and Linkin Park. It's almost surprising that Limp Bizkit didn't make into the film since it looks any band who had a hit or was reasonably popular could've made an appearance. Besides the ridiculous slasher feel brought to a classic horror character, some of the worst acting witnessed occurs as Vitamin C (Colleen Fitzpatrick) makes her on screen debut as Mary Van Helsing's roommate. Corporate branding was never a bigger eyesore due to the now-defunct Blockbuster Music stores shown all over the place as Mary and Vitamin C work there together.
sherryminou07 If it's a Dracula movie, you know how it turns out. The ironic thing is that the Virgin Store where all of the massive "Product Placement" occurs.....went the way of Dracula. Geez, could they be more obvious? The Virgin Store in New Orleans shut down not too long after this movie was made. I lived there at the time. So much for death of everything tied to this movie. Gerard Butler is Yummy, the young British actor is cute too. Justine Waddel is annoying with all her breathless running around (with a Virgin t-shirt no less). The premise is laughable. I didn't think the movie was as sucky as some. As I said.....Gerard Butler is yummy.
margaret_fletcher-885-182197 How can a movie be thrilling,sexy,fascinating,funny (in places), moving and as Christopher Plummer said ,during an interview, you feel sad for Dracula somehow. Plus , Gerard Butler is superb and so very sexy as Dracula. personally I would have gone with him in a heartbeat. WONDERFUL !!!!!. How could this movie stay under the radar for so long ?. I had never heard of it until I became a Gerard Butler fan and so luckily came across it. As a previous reviewer said, some of the one liners and timing are absolutely priceless. Now that Gerard Butler has become so well known, perhaps this movie should be re-released,it would certainly show the movie fans the sexiest and deepest Dracula ever.It would also give the most intriguing and believable explanation as to who Dracula really is. It stays with you and makes you really think. GREAT !!!. I forgot to say , it is very scary too.
