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]

This is occasionally entertaining stuff, but deeply silly.

...thanks to Hollywood, Dracula really is eternal. With those kind of odds, I suppose eventually we’ll get a vampire flick worth watching. But this ain’t it.

Not only is the guy playing Dracula not terrific, he barely even registers on screen.

What Dracula 2000 lacks in innovative filmmaking, it gains in giggle fun. This is an "old-school" vampire movie.

Not the worst Romanian count we've seen, but certainly not the best, Dracula 2000 is a middling film through and through, despite the occasional shocks it tries to earnestly achieve.

Dracula may stay undead in the new millennium, but there's not a sign of life -- oh, that bloodless acting -- in this sorry mess.

Bargain basement horror.

Lussier seems to find his choice of decor and special effects far more interesting than directing his charges or telling a story.

Vampire movies are on the comeback. But like any genre, the offerings to hit our screens vary in quality.

Into this way-overkilled fray leaps yet another vampire flick, carefully timed for maximum suckage during this Holiday Season.

Neither a comedy nor a horror picture, Dracula 2000 plays more like a bad industrial video for vampire exterminators.

You've got the usual blood and gore, paired with low-cut dresses and heaving bosoms.

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.

Long stretches of nothingness and plot where there should be flesh-ripping violence and gore.

Not only is D2K wretchedly written ... and laughably acted, but its pacing is lugubrious.

Even true believers will have a hard time sinking their fangs into this thoroughly perfunctory affair.
