This Dracula Sucks

Rating: 2/10 (11 August 2003)

I saw this film in the theatre and regretted it almost immediately. Too long, too garish, too ridiculous, and filled with familiar faces who added nothing to the movie. There are soooo many better versions out there! Try "The Lost Boys" if you want a fun vampire flick.
Some of the lowlights of this waste of film: Keanu Reaves. Others have already pointed out how wrong he was for this role. He's much better in "The Gift". Rollercoaster sets - Some visuals were very clever. Many were too bright "don't touch, fresh paint" and had that "fresh from the wardrobe department" look. And there's a scene featuring a long shot of a train that looks suspiciously like a Lionel. Without revealing a spoiler (a redundancy), the script for this mess is just plain stupid. And boring.
If Bram Stoker were alive today, this would be "Alan Smithee's Dracula". Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!
