Critics Consensus

This retelling trys to offer a different spin on the origin of Dracula. Unfortunately, there's nothing here audiences haven't seen before.

Chicago Reader

Mary, a descendant of the prototypical vampire slayer, works at a Virgin megastore in New Orleans, and the gratuitous use of the city during Mardi Gras is the least of this movie's unoriginal sins.

Time Out

One half-expects a sexually subversive, blood-soaked gay carnival. Instead, Simon makes the effete Dracula (Butler) suck on some abuse.

Caution Spoilers

Butler is certainly charismatic as the undead bloodsucker, despite only having two expressions: slight bafflement, and, when an attractive neck comes into view, that of a small boy who's just heard an ice-cream van tinkling round the corner.

Rated: 2.5/5

The List

Has its moments, comic and heart-in-the-mouth, especially when Butler's Dracula is allowed to strut his stuff.

Rated: 3/5

Midwest Film Journal

A milquetoast Matrix-y vampire movie that cobbles together a bunch of Scream franchise castoffs or wannabes, salvaged (if at all) by some suave charisma by Gerard Butler, playing Dracula in his major Hollywood debut.

Rated: 1/5

I really liked this movie. Dracula is brought into the modern age when his highly guarded coffin is broken into by thieves. Well worth a watch

As someone who likes a trashy horror movie, I'm confident when I write that this movie is absolute trash.

Our favourite blood sucker returned to cinemas in 2000 in 'Dracula 2000'. SYNOPSIS: 'A group of thieves breaks into a chamber expecting to find paintings, but instead they release the count himself, who travels to New Orleans to find his nemesis' daughter, Mary Van Helsing.' The film comes with the catch phrase 'the most seductive evil of all time...' which is ironic as this is Gerard Butler 6 years before his body transformation for '300'. He's more pail and scrawny here. This seemed to be an excuse to bring the famous character back to the silver screen with a bunch of gorgeous 20-30 somethings for him to devour. Unfortunately it doesn't work, and their obvious plan for a sequel clearly never came off either. The film is occasionally interesting, maybe even intriguing, with it's Dracula origin twist but it doesn't lead anywhere remotely worth a recommendation to watch it. Most of the cast went into bigger and better things but unfortunately there's very little life here. 3/10

An ok vampire story with an ok plot. The real kicker is the amount of famous celebrities that starred in this film.
