Trivia

In this adaptation of Bram Stoker's horror classic, Rutger Hauer plays Abraham Van Helsing, Dracula's arch-enemy; in Salem's Lot (2004), based on a Stephen King book homaging Stoker's novel, Hauer played the head vampire, clearly inspired by Dracula.

User Reviews

Pointless retread of the Dracula story

I love about 3/4 of argentos films, they are surreal classics of the horror and gore genre, but when he messes a film up he really messes it up. This version of the Dracula story follows all the basics, Jon harper comes to draculas castle, he gets seduced by the resident sexy vampire then van helsing turns up and cleans up the vampire problem. alas its told with such flatness and lack of originality that its boring as hell. the cgi is woefully bad, the acting is even worse (except for rutger). and a giant preying mantis scene is full on laugh out loud funny. its lacking in style, pace and, other than 1 very gory scene, violence. the only thing argento has done that is worse than this is giallo. which should tell you all you need to know . your best bet is to hunt down the one gory scene and give the rest of the film a miss. sorry dario but i think its time to retire.
