really and this be a sleeper . i be drink all the coffee i have in the house just to try to stay awake and it wasn not work . this movie be bad and boring . many user have give the film rave review for it story and it look and and it philosophical script . these be likely the same people who understand and love lose highway . you see and when wes craven include a character name van helsing and it can be a bit of a gas . it be funny and mildly relevant and a bit respectful and and ultimately lose in the wake when the film provide some genuinely frightening moment . when this movie put peter fonda on the screen a the drunken and acid lace van helsing and you want to laugh . but and the movie take itself so seriously that funny be not a viable option . and the fact be and there be not one sequence in the film that can elevate the pulse above comatose and let alone frighten . the story be a mess . the wonderfully philosophical script may be think provoke for some and provide they do not possess anything more than a third grade education . for those of you who be unfortunate enough to have manage you way into the fourth grade and look not to this film for intellectual stimulation . fan of anne rice vampire may not mind that the monster be write a more fascinating than frighten . however and these vampire be just plain confusing . be nadja brother a vampire . who know . he never drink blood . be nadja slave a vampire . who care and he a compete bore . rarely do i feel the need to really trash a film . however and i actually buy this video base on the high rating give by imdb user comment and and hope that these word may save someone else the same fate . read a vampire story . watch buffy re run . twiddle your thumb and count the crack on the wall . do what you will and but avoid this movie .
