Dracula 2000 is a crime against cinema.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Poll question: Dracula 2000 is a crime against cinema.

So, I finally caught this abomination last night. Let me count the ways it is so unutterably awful.
- The camera angles. This is not an episode of Batman, people.
- Dracula. Oh look, it's that guy people hire when they can't get
Dougray Scott. Why does his hair always look salon perfect?
- Dracula's harem. You're supposed to be seductive, you know. Hang
on, is one of them Vitamin C? Bloody hell.
- Who designed this movie? Why does it look like the lost episode
of the Red Shoe Diaries?
- The whole 'Dracula as Judas' plot. An abomination. Truly, truly
bollocks. It also gives the heretical suggestion that Christ's
love is not infinite, and his mercy is not extended to Judas, thus
destroying 2000 years of Christianity in one fell swoop.
- Slow-mo. Slow-mo never looks good. So cheap, so tacky, so wrong.

1. In saw that on TV at a friend's house

You forgot to mention the Virgin product placement. And the horrible, horrible plot and acting.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

6. And the flashbacks to the crucifixion.

Really, really bad. Like a really bad Duran Duran video.

2. There was a Dracula 2000?

Oy.

I liked "Bram Stoker's Dracula," visually. Plot- and acting-wise, it was an abomination. You're telling me this is worse?

3. I can tell you it is much, much worse (nt)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. In fact, I'm telling you it's a million times worse.

Really.

[Ilsa]

10. I loved Gary Oldman as Dracula!

Yes, it was visually stunning and very sexual. I can't remember ever being disappointed in GO's acting.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

12. Agreed. With the possible exception of Sid and Nancy.

5. Christopher Lee

was (is) the only possible Dracula. Bela Lugosi always made me laugh, he looked like my grandfather. They don't make great horror films like Hammer Studio's anymore.

7. Dracula AD 1972 is the only good Dracula movie with a year in the title.

Obviously.

8. It's dreadful. But its sequel, "Dracula II: Ascension", is almost fun

...featuring Jason Scott Lee as the best kung fu priest since Stuart Devenie in Peter Jackson's Brain Dead.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

11. Yeah, it's a fairly specific genre - Kung Fu Vampire Killing Priest.

My vote goes to Jesus in Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter.

9. Andy Warhol's Dracula

Now there was a movie!
