Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
jacobjohntaylor1 This movie is sequel to Dracula. Dracula as had a lot of sequels. Most of them are great. And this one is not. If you what to see a Dracula movie at this scary see Dracula (1992) or Nosferatu of Dracula (1931). But this one is not scary. It is badly written. It has an awful ending. I think Van H.e.l.i.s.i.n.g is the bad guy. But I would have to say not really. This is not as bad as it is said to be. But it is still pretty bad. Don't see this movie. Save your time and money. I don't think Dracula was good guy. But some of the vampires were. But not really. At lest I would say so. Don't see this movie. Don't see this movie. Don't see this movie.
bkoganbing Other than Rod Steiger doing this tongue in cheek imitation of Laurence Olivier's Mitteleuropa accent and having a ball as a modern Dr. Van Helsing, this rather witless comedy might go over with the juvenile trade, but not too many others. It certainly does make vampires out to be such fun creatures.Natasha Gregson Wagner and Casper Van Dien are a couple of modern vampires who are tired of the rule of that most notorious vampire of them all, Count Dracula as played by Robert Pastorelli. But all of them have to worry that that famous vampire slaughterer Van Helsing who's on the prowl with some new kind of help, a few boys from the hood.Except when Steiger was on the screen I didn't get too many laughs out of this film though. Maybe it's because my taste in music just doesn't run to rap which blares at intervals during the movie. There is one other good scene I did like. Kim Catrall pulling a freight train with the Van Helsing helpers and turning them all into vampires. It's the inevitable result of sex with one.For the juvenile trade strictly.
webmaster-1070 I'm a big fan of vampire movies and of satire, but this movie was not funny, poorly acted (even when they were trying to ham it up, it didn't work) and just plain bad. I have a nice collection of horror and horror/satire movies, >From Dusk til Dawn, Army of Darkness, John Carpenter's Vampires, even Vampire from Brooklyn, but you would have to pay me to watch this sucker again. My wife and I watched this together and couldn't believe that main stream actors like Kim Cattrall and Rod Steiger could be in such a disaster of a movie. The Actors should be embarrassed! Maybe they can sue to have it taken out of circulation. Natasha Wagner was cute in one scene but that was the highlight of the movie. I'm glad I didn't pay to see this in the theater. 0.05 of 10
ruthven1974 yes , i admit it , i am a vampire movie fan and have seen a lot of em ( my collection now comprises about 170 of these movies ) and modern vampires is definitely in the top 20 . it is a really witty film with a great cast and first class directing on a limited budget . sure the special effects are not always top notch , but special effects never did a movie ( if it was the case , then independence day and star wars episode one would be good ). rod sterling is one of many great actors in this movie but absolutely steals the show here and gives the funniest van helsing performance ever in hollywood . all in all , a very enjoyable movie for anyone and a sure treat for vampires fan to forget the blunders of the 2 blade movies or the sequel to the already bad dracula 2000
