            DRACULA 2000
                             3 Blood Sucking Cheeses

       Characters:
       Matthew Van Helsing: The original Dracula hunter
       Simon: His help guy who is trying to save Mary
       Mary: Van Helsing's daughter who Drac's trying to find
       Dracula: As if you already don't know who this is

       Plot:
       Dracula is resurrected by a bunch of theives and he feels like finding
       Mary, his part daughter and turning her into a vampire. Van Helsing,
       who has been using Dracula's blood to stay alive for the past 100 years
       chases him, Simon follows, and becomes a vampire killer. A bunch of
       vampiric seduction scenes, violence, and crazy camra work soon follows.

       That's really about all of the plot there is cause the movie is entirely
       about, vampires seducing people, then soon afterwards someone getting                beheaded. Thought the writters did add a new spin on the dracula legend
       with him having been the man who gave Jesus up to be crucified, and
       when he tried to kill himself for his sins he wasn't able to die. It explains
       his whole hatred of the church deal and the silver stuff.

       SFX
       The special effects all look better than you'd expect from a Dimension
       studios film, the budget must have been higher than most. The computer
       animation is solid. The occaisional BULLET TIME shot also works well.
       Also the vampires eyes turn all CGI red and it looks pretty cool.

        Gore:
        A bunch of random behaedings              Some impalings
        Vampire bites                              Stabbings
        Blood splatters

        What I learned:
        By injecting yourself with Dracula's blood you'll become immortal
        Vampires are BULLET TIME masters
        The Wes Craven Presents series has actually 1 goood movie
         By adding 2000 to a title you destroy any need for a title to make sense

        Bottom Line:
        In short Dimension has actually produced a watchable movie that
        doesn't try to insult the viewers intelegance. I provides one with a highly
        passable Vampire movie that adds new ideas to the whole Dracula
        myth.

        Dracula 2000 shows us that it's ok by having characters who don't go
        out of their way to bother us and has a few good reh scenes. The action
        is well done and it is a solid movie. A very good movie for these long
        boring days of summer.
