1/5 Complete waste of time!
  by Rick Rivera (Chicago, IL USA)
What where these people thinking? I can't believe they even made this movie! From the silly opening scene where the main vampire is driving and admiring his fangs in the rearview mirror, to him brushing and filing (FILING!) his fangs in the morning, to the silly accents everybody had, to the lisps that proved the actors couldn't master talking with fangs (or was it intentional?) - this movie is just plain stupid. All of the actors in this movie (bear in mind this movie was filmed 9 years ago) must be ashamed of being in it, of that I am sure!

Everything is so over the top it's just stupid. The plot is a mess, the characters are laughable, and please don't remind me of those incredibly cheesy accents! The acting is so bad it's actually painful in some scenes. The wild cat sounds when some of the vampires attack? And the whole "gangbanger/crip" theme, turning the whole thing into a "white vampires vs. black vampires" sort of deal? I just don't see the logic. It's all just incredibly stupid to me.

Is this movie supposed to be a spoof, a satire? I honestly can't tell, and the description doesn't specify that (if it had I wouldn't have rented it). I like my vampire movies with substance and logic. This movie tries to be so many things it's none of the above. Don't waste your time. It's just dumb.

3/5 if you like trash, you gotta love it...

Well, now... this movie is not what you'd call a masterpiece. I once saw it some years ago in german language. As the tape was from our local video rental station, the quality was not exactly great. I enjoyed the movie immensly - it IS trash (despite some realy great actors), but I do like trash.
When I noticed there was a DVD available I couldn't resist in buying. It had something about a "Special Director's Cut" ananounced, but I hat to realise there was nothing new in this version. Maybe the german tape was from the directors cut, too.
The Quality is allrigth - some classes better than the old rental tape. the picture is clear, the sound is well. There are some nice features - the trailer, biographies to the main actors (you get a lot informations about them with this DVD), a commentary (which I haven't tried yet) and a interesting, partly funny Behind-The-Scenes-Featurette. The sound on the last mentioned is not so great, but as it is only a feature I think it's OK.
If you like trashy vampire-movies with real modern vampires you should definitivly check this DVD out - it's not exactly expensive, and you got a very nice version of the movie!

3/5 Campy fun

Dracula is in modern day Los Angeles and is trying to control all the vampires living in the city. Campy fun with not much of a plot. It's funny to listen to the actors try to talk with their fake vampire fangs on. They all come across as lispy and ridiculous, although I'm not sure that was the intention. Good for a laugh.

5/5 Awesome!

This movie is absolutely hilarious! It's fun the whole way through! I make all my friends watch it. It's just a lot of fun.

3/5 Warhol-esque - - Not for the tasteful, but has some good comedy
  by Herr Frog (Washington DC area)
The first half was hilarious, and then went downhill. It is sort of a vampire soap opera, with shezbot for action and plenty of totally tasteless humor that I hated, strangely interspersed with some droll humor, which I REALLY enjoyed. Tell you what. If you like bad horror, you may well enjoy this. I did. If you enjoyed playing VTMB or Bloodrayne (games) you may enjoy this flick. I laughed my tookus off for the first half or so. If you are hoping for a good serious vampire movie, forget it. But I enjoyed this more than most serious vampire movies. I recommend Sean of The Dead over this as a similar parody of the genre, but as a foray into "bad," this flick has its moments. Actually, playing VTMB is much better, and a more immersive experience of vampirism as a "life" style.

As a minor note, this film displays the beauty of Kim Cattrall only too well, and she is clearly as beautiful as her mother ever was. I hope she finds a few films to show her good looks a little more tastefully, but there it is, she is absolutely stunning in this shaggy dog of a movie.
