Giorgio A Very bad performance by the master of horror. Amateurish script and ridiculous mise-en-scène. Argento did worse only later, with "Dark glasses". Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Rudy A Horror on the cheap. I can only guess it was to save money on location shooting that Italian filmmaker Dari Argento decided to take Jonathon Harker out of the real estate business and instead send him to the Borga Pass to be Dracula's librarian. His wife, Mina, is set to join him, and conveniently, her friend Mina happens to live an hour's walk from the castle in Passburg where her father is mayor. It's possible the film is more entertaining in its 3D version, but I doubt it. The script could've been written by a child, and the direction is incompetent. There are occasional moments that are unintentionally comical, but this is not the kind of film that is so bad that it's camp. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Rob S Oh yawn. What a shocker - shockingly bad and boring, that is. Had a little bit of "Hammer Horror" vibe going on but that was the only good thing about the movie. A few laugh-out-loud moments including Dracula as a giant praying mantis. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review Audience Member The 3D gives a really odd look to the colour. Flat, but shiny. Sex scene to start to set up that first attack… Cleavage, tits, goblets of blood, crap sfx. I have moments, but is this really Argento? Because if I hadn't seen the credits, I just would know - apart from the bullet bit. Even Rutger can't lift it. The grasshopper? The last step too far. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It's obvious nobody liked this movie. And I can't blame them. But there's something that I noticed about this version of Dracula. It seems to resemble those old Hammer horror films starring Christopher Lee. Was this Argento's intention? Or maybe this was done with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Either way, it's time these old washed up film directors put themselves out to pasture! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review bill t A dracula movie that sort of goes all over the place, bringing us characters that we see only briefly before they're killed off, shoddy special effects, and yes, Rutger Hauer apparently there for the paycheck. I really can't decide which is worse. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
