Instead, they succeed in... A gang of high-tech thieves, led by Marcus (Omar Epps) and Solina (Jennifer Esposito), break into a vault buried deep in the heart of London hoping to find treasure. Instead, they succeed in reviving an ancient evil--the legendary Count Dracula himself (Gerard Butler), who terrorized England a century earlier until he was stopped by Dr. Abraham Van Helsing. Now, Dracula makes his way to modern New Orleans to track down Mary Heller (Justine Waddell), an innocent young woman haunted by dreams she doesn't understand. Matthew Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer), Dracula's current keeper, must track the Count down with the help of his assistant, Simon (Jonny Lee Miller), but they also have to deal with the vampire's new victims, who soon return from the dead, thirsty for blood. Can Dracula be stopped before he seduces Mary and begins a new reign of terror, or do secrets from his past hold the key to destroying him forever? DRACULA 2000 is an energetic vampire story featuring intense fight sequences and a unique re-imagining of the Dracula legend. [More]

While the result certainly doesn't suck, it does lack any real bite.

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.

The use of Craven’s name in the title is a cheesy marketing ploy and the secret to the fanged suitor’s aversion to all things Christian is an even cheesier hoot.

We're talking 5,940 seconds better spent doing anything else under the sun, including but not limited to pulling out one's toenails one by one.

One half-expects a sexually subversive, blood-soaked gay carnival. Instead, Simon makes the effete Dracula (Butler) suck on some abuse.

The filmmakers were stuck with a script containing good ideas poorly executed.

[It] will be consigned to the bin with all the other Dracula rejects.

There's enough holes in the plot to drive a 40-foot hearse through.

There are precious few good performances in this movie, and it would be really great if the title character were one of them.

While not a truly terrible vampire movie like The Forsaken, Dracula 2000 could have been so much more.

Director Patrick Lussier has a keen eye for color and knows how to compose a great-looking shot; unfortunately, Lussier also co-wrote and edited the film, effectively undermining his talent.

The film concentrates more on the gore and less on fright and suspense.

Unable to add a single new thought or shot to the tired vampire genre.

Anyone not high and surrounded by thirty of their closest friends would be well advised to leave this Dracula entombed.

Its screenplay is so rudderless and random that it might just as well have been written by the vacuous pre-teens that most likely comprise its key demographic.

Dracula 2000 is an update of the classic story that unfortunately drives several nails into the coffin of the vampire genre.
