Dracula: The Original Living Vampire

This is a very poor adaptation of a classic story; throwing in "modern" twists such as same sex relationships is a pathetic attempt to bring a different slant on it. A female lead investigator is also not sufficient to add a new slant. The acting is at best wooden, the script lacks depth and the whole thing is almost incongruous.

The direction is non-existent; special effects are OK but even on a budget this film is a let down.

This film is really not worth watching other than to show film students how NOT to make films. I'm unsure what they were thinking when producers gave a green light to this production but clearly ot wasn't logic!!!

Wooden acting, predictable script, dire direction. Why, just why, that's all I was left asking myself. Dracula has such potential, yet to be fully realized.

The story line has nothing new to add to the countless Dracula movies that have been done over the years. From that standpoint there's really no need to watch. There are a couple of aspects that raise it above a one-star movie. First, the set designs were actually good. With a few notable exceptions things seemed pretty consistent with a late 19th century setting it claimed to be. The telephone and electric fan, though old, were not that old. Second, for a cast of mostly no-name actors, the acting wasn't the worst I've seen. No future Oscar winners here, but the acting wasn't bad enough to be a distraction.

The only thing you will be missing after watching this movie is the last hour and half of your life. Don't waste your time, it is indescribably bad, really bad.

The acting was terrible. The storyline was just an excuse for showing boobs. Did I mention terrible acting. Don't waste your time. This movie used the names in the original Dracula but had none of the excitement, intelligence or suspense. Garbage.
