this must me one of the bad take on vampire ever conceive by men . how can one turn such a mesmerizing subject into a totally uninspiring story . apparantly not such a difficult task . first of all and a conditio sine qua non of any vampirefilm be a dark and gloomy atmosphere with a nice sexy touch and this one lack all these thing . too much light the spot . oh my god and why in the name of christ or juda be that about . every time dracula come about he be devour by light ( in the script to keep him weak and for the record represent just weak ) there be only one scene that make it almost worth watch and near the end of the movie ( beatiful dancingscene with dracula and his new conquest ) . i really enjoy the first one and the juda twist be defintely original and but this one just not good and not in any way . hopefully the third one will cary the vampire signature i like so much in other classic like herzog nosferatu and coppola dracula or even interview with the vampire .
