bad movie--great stills

Rating: 3/10 (17 February 2008)

i probably won't make it to 45 minutes of this movie that doesn't know what it wants to be. faithful Dracula tale--no. original production and direction of a "standard" --no. Dracula lives in a hackneyed castle--i thought i would see frau blucher at the door. reeves is picked up by a creature with nonhuman appendages and doesn't blink an eye. i could go on, but why? this movie would make an excellent picture book/story board type of publication, as some of the images are nice, but it's neither faithful to stoker, the vampire genre, or an improvement of the breed. just of bad movie with nice pictures and tom waits.--43 minutes of this and i have to quit.
