Almost painful to watch

Rating: 1/10 (31 October 2004)

I don't know if Sommers is trying to be campy and retarded when he made this or if he really thinks he made a scary movie...either way this piece of junk was painful to sit through. The scariest thing throughout was THE DIALOGUE, it sounded as if Sommer's 12 yr old nephew wrote most of it. The acting was expectedly bad but Dracula was so over the top, that I found myself fast forwarding through his parts (yes I rented, no way in hell was I going to pay nine dollars to see this).
The plot was completely predictable as most of Sommers films are, the special effects were outlandish - part of the reason of a no scare factor is that almost all the monsters were cgi'd in, looking more like cartoons, than anything else. The old horror films Sommers is trying to pay homage to had waaaayyyy more class this his modern day crapnanza.
Save yourself the pain of this film, its not a good horror flick, its a lousy action flick, there's no real comedy, and drama...well you'd get more drama from watching cspan than this thing...surprisingly the DVD does make a good frisbee.
