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.

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

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

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.

...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.
