Consensus: This retelling trys to offer a different spin on the origin of Dracula. Unfortunately, there's nothing here audiences haven't seen before.

Reviews for Dracula 2000
Top CriticThis bloodsucker is, well, kinda sucky.
12/28/00
One half-expects a sexually subversive, blood-soaked gay carnival. Instead, Simon makes the effete Dracula (Butler) suck on some abuse.
01/26/06
While the result certainly doesn't suck, it does lack any real bite.
10/20/09
Any new vampire film needs fresh blood, and this one is clotted with clichés, including its Matrix-style acrobatics.
12/24/00
Top CriticAnyone not high and surrounded by thirty of their closest friends would be well advised to leave this Dracula entombed.
03/08/02
Even true believers will have a hard time sinking their fangs into this thoroughly perfunctory affair.
12/28/00
Top CriticInto this way-overkilled fray leaps yet another vampire flick, carefully timed for maximum suckage during this Holiday Season.
02/07/01
Lussier seems to find his choice of decor and special effects far more interesting than directing his charges or telling a story.
04/16/01
Long stretches of nothingness and plot where there should be flesh-ripping violence and gore.
12/28/00
[Dracula is] never a force of evil of mythic proportions; he seems small-minded and even whiny.
12/25/00
While not a truly terrible vampire movie like The Forsaken, Dracula 2000 could have been so much more.
10/10/02
The film concentrates more on the gore and less on fright and suspense.
06/05/02
Strip away the Dracula plot, and this is essentially just a stupid slasher movie.
12/27/00
The picture's roughly the equivalent of one of those cruddy, direct-to-video horror flicks broadcast on the SciFi Network in the wee morning hours.
12/22/00
Considering that it arrives a week before going stale-dated, one shouldn't expect much electricity from Dracula 2000. And shocking it isn't.
12/22/00
Top CriticThis is a jejune hack-Drac.
02/07/01
There's enough holes in the plot to drive a 40-foot hearse through.
02/13/03
There is ... very little that this film does right, and I can identify nothing to justify its existence.
