So, after watching the 1992 Dracula movie, I couldn’t wait to get started on a new Dracula movie. That was when I saw this one produced door Dimension, the same people that did From Dusk Till Dawn, another vampire movie that I have some good feelings for, so I decided to give this volgende movie a try…. Let’s just say that we had to get to a bad movie this maand eventually. And boy, did this movie manage to do just that. The movie in vraag is known as Dracula 2000. Yes, that is actually the name they went with.



So, before I get started with this crap, I just want to point something out. The company that produced this movie decided to call the full movie Wes Craven Present’s Dracula 2000. Yes, Wes Craven. The guy who created Nightmare on Elm straat worked on this crap. Who would have thought that Craven of all people would work on this movie. Well, to be fair, he did make Scream 3, so… there’s that. So, the movie follows busje, van Helsing, who, after defeating Dracula, locks him in a silver coffin and traps him underground. Now, in the jaar 2000, busje, van Helsing (Get this), uses the blood of Dracula to keep himself immortal so that he can keep watching over him, and keeps him in this giant Resident Evil-esque lab under an antique shop. After this, his secretary, Solina, with a group of thieves, decide to take the OBVIOUS coffin, taking it in a plane to New Orleans, where Dracula arises and kills them, and travels across New Orleans to find Mary, who- Okay get ready for meer exposition than you’d ever need for a slasher movie. Okay, so Mary is the son of busje, van Helsing, who was taken after he was busje, van Helsing, which I guess was a turnoff for his wife, and they left for America, and since she was conceived while busje, van Helsing was injecting himself with Dracula blood, Dracula is now hunting her down so he can turn her into a vampire…….. What?



So, now that all that’s all out on the table, u can see why busje, van Helsing and his dumbass apprentice, Simon, must travel to New Orleans to stop Dracula. Okay, so, this movie does have some sort of following, so why is it that I can like some bad movies, but I hate this one… Because everyone in it is so stupid. Everyone in this entire movie, besides busje, van Helsing and Dracula, are idiots. They disobey people, ignore obvious signs, and just run headfirst into danger. Not a single person (Besides Helsing and Dracula) are worth caring about their survival, because I don’t even give a damn about them in general. How can I want them to survive if there’s nothing to like about them. At least Helsing is a pretty awesome guy, going around and slicing up vampires every chance he gets. That, I gotta admit is cool. They definitely went all out with that. Too bad it’s overshadowed door a crappy plot and characters. There isn’t even any cool gothic settings, which would interest me in these kinds of movies. Instead, we just get modern crappy buildings that u can find just door going outside. Oh, but thank goodness they decided to film it at night.



I’m just gonna assume that none of u are going to watch this movie (I hope), so allow me to spoil everything about it for you. So, near the end of the movie, Dracula has collected three brides. Solina, Lucy, Mary’s roommate, and some random woman u probably don’t care about, kill Helsing (Oh, that’s just great), and now we’re left with Mary and Simon…….. No! So, Dracula takes Mary up to the top, boven of a building. u ready for the ultimate facepalm, because it’s about to come right here. So, throughout the movie, Simon notices that Dracula despises everything about Christianity. Okay, makes sense. So, we are finally told door Dracula why he hates Christianity. And it is because he is, in fact, Judas. The same Judas that betrayed Jesus and, after trying to hang himself, was cursed to be immortal as a vampire…… WHY IS THIS A THING!I know this is supposed to toon his hatred for everything Christian, but did they have to do it in a way that was… totally stupid. door this point, I had to take a break from the movie. That scene was just… too much. Just… too stupid.



Well, I guess the movie wasn’t that good to the public. It was both a commercial and critical failure. Critics hated it and it didn’t even come close to making its budget back. Other than getting two direct-to-video sequels (Which I will NEVER watch and review), that’s about it for Dracula 2000. It came, and it died out pretty fast, and it should stay that way. I understand they wanted to modernize the story of Dracula, but it didn’t need to be modernized. The original is a timeless classic, and besides, the 1992 version came out eight years prior and it was incredible in comparison. So, to end this video, let me just mention a Youtube channel called MovieClips. They have a few scenes from Dracula 2000, one of them being titled “All I Want to Do is Suck”... Well, That’s one thing this movie succeeded at. Take care.
