No Horror Here!

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2005)

I was seeking a traditional horror flick that scared the dickens out of me. This production turned out to be a love story instead, a new take on the story of Dracula. For what it was, it was well done. It just disappointed me because it wasn't scary.
I wanted to see a menacing vampire stalking and lurking in the shadows. Instead, I saw a bizarre character falling in love with one of his victims. The sets, acting and cinematography were highly polished and professional, but since my pants were still dry afterward, I have to say I could not recommend it as a horror flick. Plus, Mr. Hopkins said a few lines of comic relief that totally brought down both the level of fright and seriousness.
