This is a great movie. 1.9 is underrating it. I give this movie 10 out of 10. This movie is very scary. It is a Dracula sequel. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also great special effects. This is a great movie. I do not no why people do not like it. Dracula (March 1931) is better. Dracula (1992) Dracula's Daughter (1936) is also better. Son of Dracula (1943) is also better. House of Frankenstein which a sequel to Dracula and Frankenstein is also better. But still this a great movie. See it. If you like horror movie you will like it. Van Helsing is better. But still this is one the scariest movie of all time.
... View MoreThere's not much I can add to all the other reviewers' comments, which were--if anything--too kind. This is the movie Ed Wood would have made if he had a competent cameraman, because the cinematography is actually very good, which is the only--let me emphasize, absolutely the ONLY--good thing about the movie. Otherwise, this is one of the few films I've ever seen where you can't point to at least one aspect of it and say, "Well, at least that wasn't too bad"--because EVERYTHING about this film is bad. Not just bad, but atrociously, horrendously, brain-destroyingly bad. Acting, writing, "action" scenes, etc., have to strain mightily to reach the level of the Christmas play in which you played a candy cane back in third grade--and they don't succeed. Much has already been written about the shoddy-beyond-belief sound, and there's nothing I can add to that except to say that the producers' unwillingness to hire a competent sound man, which resulted in much of the dialog being unintelligible, is one of the few things they did right.All in all, a virtually worthless movie. Although there's a fair amount of female nudity, it's really not worth sitting through this stinker to check it out (jeez, I can't believe I just discouraged guys from ogling naked chicks; if that doesn't give you an idea of how much this flick sucks, then nothing will). If tenth-rate swill churned out by incompetent, talentless slugs is your cup of tea, even you won't like this movie. Avoid it at all costs.
... View MoreI only spent a dollar on this movie. Jesus this thing wasn't even worth that, if I had seen this movie for free I would still feel violated, and if I had been paid to see it, the money would not have been enough.Below is my vent as I just endured this movie and I need to let it all out First of all, the holy water in her neck jugular??? WTF. And he's all "wow, you are such a genius, no one would ever think hey, holy water hurts them, they bite necks, maybe if i somehow drink this holy water and absurd it into my neck area I can kill them." Stupid, very stupid element of the film and that last line "or maybe a princess" or something of that effect, I nearly cried. That made even the holy water and wasp and training scenes seem well thought out and deserving of an Oscar.Who wrote this movie, were they in Kindergarten, but of course six year-olds are so much more intelligent than the team behind this crap, and actually have imaginations and could probably write better material, so I take that back, that is an insult to compare kindergarten children to the inbred morons who wrote this movie.None of the actors in this movie could act, it all felt very very daytime drama or school play. But of course the director must take some of the responsibility for that as well. The action scenes were embarrassing and the effects were crude and ugly, primitive, extremely half arced, just like every single element of this film.The sound effects were pathetic, that's all I will say on the matter. So moving on..The Vampires in this movie should not even be classed as that, they are degrading the entire world of fiction and it is an insult for them to be named as the likes of Lestat, Vlad deMagpyr or Bela Lugosi's classic Dracula. These are suave, charismatic, alluring, elegant and beautiful beings (but also a bit evil) the creatures shown in this movie were boring, stupid, abysmal and unoriginal.*end rant* I do really feel a lot better.Do yourselves a favour, stay away from this movie. It is not worth a single moment of your time. Go to the video store and re rent Interview with a Vampire, Underworld or the Buffy TV series instead.
... View Morethe acting is horrible. it looks and sounds as if it was filmed on a home video camera the background audio overpowers the voices throughout the whole movie. the sound effects have been repeated over and over, it seems everyone has the same scream the actor who played hell-sing cant even pronounce Nosferatu, he says "nosterfartu" how can the people that edited miss something so obvious, maybe they were too caught up in trying to make people disappear by stopping the camera, getting the actor to move out of screen then starting it again. the visual effects could be done better on a high school editing suite. action scenes are just a disorienting confusion of flashes of the weapons closeup of the actors, the story line.... pathetic
