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.

Lisa Alspector

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.

This is occasionally entertaining stuff, but deeply silly.

retains the Count’s mysterious powers – his ability to change form (wolves, bats), mesmerize victims, and summon fog and storms – as well as his weaknesses (silver, crosses), while seamlessly inventing a credible origin story for vampires using Biblical

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

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

Rated: 3/5

It truly is tragic. One of the best origins of Dracula to ever be conceived and it is wasted on a pretty bad movie.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Another pretty standard 2000's horror/action. Everything here will be highly recognizable. Watchable to be sure, just keep expectations in check. Butler is very off character for his brand I suppose, in a good way it seems.
