Certainly not the book

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2004)

To anyone who read and enjoyed the book, I would recommend this movie only to masochists. In my opinion, they took every single character that Bram Stoker created and systematically ruined them. Bram Stoker was writing about good and evil; this movie is sheer junk. I ended up fast forwarding most of it, and what I watched wasn't worth the tape it was on. Rarely have I seen such horrid casting; it is rank with repulsive scenes; the script was awful, the acting worse, and the makeup was so overdone it was almost laughable. This movie should have gotten and NY17 rating, as no kid under that age should see this bunk, and to anyone who liked the novel, I would say merely that I regret wasting that much of my life on such vile trash.
