many word come to mind when describe this film but and unfortunately and ` funny isn not one of them . even though the cast be great and the potential be obviously there and the screenplay be overall tame and uninspired . count vladimir dracula ( george hamilton with a sleazy accent ) be force to leave his transylvanian castle and ship for new york . along with his loyal slave renfield and he track down the girl of his dream and cindy . her boyfriend slash schrink happen to be an ancestor of dracula old nemesis van helsing . the few successful joke in this lame spoof be limit to a couple of classic reference and a goofy portrayal of arte johnson a renfield . he constantly eat insect and his laugh be unvarnished but that about it . the attempt to give a disco swing to dracula personality be embarrass . the scenery and setting look way too cheap ( not even charmingly cheap ) and inexperienced director dragoti clearly can not handle the material . it look like the actor have a lot of fun while shoot this film too bad they can not convey it to the audience . good horror spoof be very rare and hard to make . for a minute and i actually hop this could be a reasonable effort but i be wrong . well luck next time .
