One half-expects a sexually subversive, blood-soaked gay carnival. Instead, Simon makes the effete Dracula (Butler) suck on some abuse.

Reviews for Dracula 2000
Top CriticWhile the result certainly doesn't suck, it does lack any real bite.
10/20/09
Top CriticBargain basement horror.
05/21/01
Top CriticNot only is the guy playing Dracula not terrific, he barely even registers on screen.
06/15/01
Top CriticThis is occasionally entertaining stuff, but deeply silly.
08/10/01
Top CriticJust what we need: another Dracula movie!
12/10/01
This bloodsucker is, well, kinda sucky.
12/28/00
Top CriticSo hip and happening, it grooves.
12/22/00
Any new vampire film needs fresh blood, and this one is clotted with clichés, including its Matrix-style acrobatics.
12/24/00
Anyone not high and surrounded by thirty of their closest friends would be well advised to leave this Dracula entombed.
03/08/02
Even true believers will have a hard time sinking their fangs into this thoroughly perfunctory affair.
12/28/00
Into this way-overkilled fray leaps yet another vampire flick, carefully timed for maximum suckage during this Holiday Season.
02/07/01
Lussier seems to find his choice of decor and special effects far more interesting than directing his charges or telling a story.
04/16/01
Long stretches of nothingness and plot where there should be flesh-ripping violence and gore.
12/28/00
[Dracula is] never a force of evil of mythic proportions; he seems small-minded and even whiny.
12/25/00
Top CriticWhile not a truly terrible vampire movie like The Forsaken, Dracula 2000 could have been so much more.
10/10/02
The film concentrates more on the gore and less on fright and suspense.
06/05/02
Strip away the Dracula plot, and this is essentially just a stupid slasher movie.
12/27/00
The picture's roughly the equivalent of one of those cruddy, direct-to-video horror flicks broadcast on the SciFi Network in the wee morning hours.
12/22/00
It doesn't always work, but it does manage hold our interest.
