a muddled mess that just doesn't work.

Rating: 1/10 (12 May 2012)

As it should. It sucks! Thirty seconds are good, title and last few seconds of end titles have sampled some appropriate music from the original series, and that little bit is all that that worked for me, (and that will work only for those who recognize it), and is in sharp contrast to everything else that is a muddled mess of a bastard adaptation of some of the original story line. Was surprised that they did keep it very serious for the most part. All the funny bits are in the adds and trailers. But the Nosferatu Barnabas look prevented any of this cinematic waste to work at all. In short the original fan will like the fact that it is a muddled mess and the newbie will just be bored to tears. So ironically original fans may get more enjoyment out of this, bit not in any way that the makers of this intended. If you blink you will miss the classic cast enter a doorway and then two of them in a background of another shot. Not a word spoken or mouthed. That may be something for all to follow as a good example of how to handle this. Don't speak about it, and I for one won't waste any more time thinking about it.
