Chilling special effects highlight a rather gory production.

The film features the familiar elements (beautiful color cinematography, lavish sets, solid writing, strong performances), making this a worthy heir to its predecessor.

If it isn't as iconic and elemental as its predecessor, that's no reflection on how well it works as a vampire entertainment on its own...an unusually original way to continue the closed-off story of Bram Stoker's novel.

Patchy but striking, and directed with Fisher's usual flair.

When the story lags (and it often does), at least you have copious eye candy to feast on.

While the plot is over the top and certainly contrived, there are enough spooky sequences to keep horror fans occupied.

Here is but another repetition of the standard tale of the vampire bugaboo who likes to sink his oversized dentures into the necks of pretty girls.

Fisher directs with characteristic fluency, and the cast is splendid.
