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]

Reviews for Dracula 2000
Dracula 2000 is nothing more or less than pure popcorn filmmaking, with an emphasis on the 'corn', and...apparently... proud of it.
Enough cheap scares for pretty much anyone looking for some enjoyable bloody fun.
What Dracula 2000 lacks in innovative filmmaking, it gains in giggle fun. This is an "old-school" vampire movie.
You've got the usual blood and gore, paired with low-cut dresses and heaving bosoms.
To my surprise Dracula 2000, wasn't all that bad and I actually found myself largely enjoying it.
An entertaining excursion into the cheap thrills of second-rate horror, with plenty of bloody mayhem, kitschy crucifixes, and heaving bodices for the Nosferatu inside you.
One half-expects a sexually subversive, blood-soaked gay carnival. Instead, Simon makes the effete Dracula (Butler) suck on some abuse.
Any new vampire film needs fresh blood, and this one is clotted with clichés, including its Matrix-style acrobatics.
Anyone not high and surrounded by thirty of their closest friends would be well advised to leave this Dracula entombed.
Even true believers will have a hard time sinking their fangs into this thoroughly perfunctory affair.
Into this way-overkilled fray leaps yet another vampire flick, carefully timed for maximum suckage during this Holiday Season.
Lussier seems to find his choice of decor and special effects far more interesting than directing his charges or telling a story.
Long stretches of nothingness and plot where there should be flesh-ripping violence and gore.
[Dracula is] never a force of evil of mythic proportions; he seems small-minded and even whiny.
While not a truly terrible vampire movie like The Forsaken, Dracula 2000 could have been so much more.
