Dracula's Curse Reviews
Dracula's curse
What can I say about this film? The characters simply do not have any personality. And to be honest, I just don't like any movie that only has an absolute evil, an absolute good and nothing in bwteen. It is a good movie if you just want to know the plot, but then why not just watch the 1992 version of Dracula. The only reason I give it 2 star is because the story is pretty close to the original novel.
Excellent Contemporary Version Of Bram Stoker's Novel!
Jonathan Harker, his fiancee Mina and their friends are partying it up in Budapest when an one Vlad Tepes makes them an offer they can't refuse. Lured by the dollar signs, Harker hies himself off to Rumania to the castle of Count Tepes. The Count, of course, is exactly who you think he is, and soon he and an Italian version of Dr. Van Helsing are locked in a familiar battle.
In its broad lines, the film is actually quite faithful to Stoker's novel. The characters' nationalities have been changed, locations are different, and the clock has been reset to the present day (with Harker driving to Romania in a sports car), but Stoker would have had no difficulty in recognizing his book. So far, so interesting. Unfortunately, the script is indescribably banal, weighed down with dialogue so painful that suicide seems a viable escape option, and taking far too long to get to where we know it's going to go.
Though the audio has its weaknesses, it is nowhere near as awful as the picture. The fullscreen image is dreadfully soft, with any face not in close-up blurring almost featureless. There are four deleted scenes, a photo gallery, and a passel of trailers (including the new Punisher). The menu is basic.
Interesting idea, earnest effort, clumsy execution. Bad picture quality too.
