2.0 out of 5 stars Dud, June 29, 2009

Unlike some I actually thought that the production values weren't all that bad.

What is bad about this film is the plot, coupled with direction/editing that sucks any sense of excitement out of the film before it gets to your screen.

Take for instance Dracula is able, using his mind powers to lift a guy off his feet and make him float towards a noose. The film suddenly cuts as apparently we can't see him die, because that would be too exciting and we only see the results. Odd too, given these powers that in the end Dracula chooses to fight it out with a sword.

Dracula's guest in this film is Kelsey McCann who is quite pretty and does her best at an English accent. She is imprisoned by Dracula who puts her in a cave, that's got a cage door across the front to prevent her getting out. Her love finds her and they exchange conversation through the bars. She says something like "He took something that I was saving for you" (meaning her virginity), though we never see that because that too would be too exciting. Thus, it's overly-big then on dialogue. Dracula and guest spend quite some time at it and all this leaves one bored and waiting for something to happen. Then, later, they talk about what did happen, but not that we were allowed to see it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Note to self- check reviews first!, September 16, 2008

By	H. N. Dohe (My Sanctum Sanctorium) - See all my reviews

Gawd, what an awful movie. There, that's out of the way. The other reviewers have done a fair job at explaining why this movie is bad (LOW budget effects, didn't follow the original story much at all, etc). But what really puzzles me is why they hired Andrew Bryniarski to play Dracula. Up until now, most of us horror-philes agreed that the chubbiest vampire on record was Lon Chaney Jr's "Son of Dracula" (which I liked in spite of Chaney's being a well fed vamp). Bryniarski has about 100 pounds on Chaney. Tall? Gaunt? Corpselike? No way- this Drac's been to the "all you can eat" buffet. Now I gave it two stars because I did like the period costumes. I mean, I had to find something redeeming in this film, eh? But the others are right- rent it if you must, but if you buy it, you'll be using it as a drink coaster after you watch it.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst, September 2, 2008

By	M.R. Loisel ""Six"" (Birnamwood WI) - See all my reviews

I give this movie one star for Wes Ramsey (Bram Stoker) who I kept wishing, as he was running across Europe, would run into a better movie. He was the one bright spot in the whole thing. There was only one segment out of Stoker's short story, and that was Bram being chased by the dog (a Rottweiler) which should have been a wolf(couldn't they even get a German Shepherd to be a fake wolf?) and then rescued. Andrew Bryniarski was one of the most unappealing Draculas I've ever seen. To the writer's credit, they did try to insert a bit from Stoker's book for Dracula to say, his speech where he's talking about himself: "we have a right to be proud...the Ugric tribe bore down from Iceland, etc.", but it was so garbled you could hardly understand what he was saying. He practically threw that speech away, he rushed through it so quickly. And to be a bit picky-when was this movie set? Costumes were from the 1850s-90s. Women's hair was all wrong, they NEVER wore it loose during these years. And the French people in the cabin talked about the Bastille and the Revolution. Just how old were these people if it was even set in 1850? I agree with another reviewer about the Count's castle being a mausoleum?? uh-huh. Also, Dracula scorned Stoker's use of mortal weapons but later didn't seem to mind picking up a sword to fight Admiral Murray. And for the record, Bram Stoker's wife's name was Florence. If you don't know anything about Stoker or Dracula, the book or short story and just want to watch a vampire flick, you might not mind it. However, if you do, this movie is just irritating because it could have been SO much better, so just skip it.
