Not much to see here....

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2004)

The only memorable scenes were of the castle and the stunning masquerade party. Otherwise, this film possessed no horror, suspense or worthwhile plot. The loud percussive score, special effects, and nonstop rapid action may appeal to teenage boys; but few others would enjoy it. I was hoping to see a truly frightening Gothic, horror flick in this, but I was quite disappointed. The cast was adequate, but the film lacked direction and purpose, so nothing could redeem it. Halloween is coming....can anyone direct me to a really scary Gothic horror flick???? I want to see the full midnight moon with clouds racing by. I want to see dark Gothic castles perched on precipitous cliffs. I want to see characters scared out of their minds. I want to see a truly demonic and bloodthirsty vampire/Dracula who thoroughly enjoys dining on his victims. Is it out there? Anywhere? Please?
