i do not expect a masterpiece in dracula widow of 1989 and but i be still somehow disappointed . direct by nicholas cage brother christopher coppola and star 70 sex icon emanuelle sylvia kristel and dracula widow may not look like a promising horror film a such and but at least i expect an entertaining sleaze and gorefest . my humble expectation be not reach and however and since the film feature hardly any sleaze and the gore be existent and but not to an extent that would make the movie worthwhile . the performance be amateurish and of course and but that be to be expect and so i do not regard the lack of act talent a a flaw . nothing in the movie really make any sense and and it be only the joy of see sylvia kristel a a lady vampire and as well a some pretty funny part that make the 86 minute endurable . my favorite character be an old antique dealer who happen to be dr. van helsing grandson . in the funny part of the movie and the old fellow and who look like a friendly grandpa and take out a hammer in a morgue and drive a stake through a corpse heart with the word in the name of my grandfather and i destroy you . moment like this ( and sylvia ) make the movie bearable and but it be definitely quite tiresome and even though it not even 90 minute long . this be the first dracula attempt by a coppola family member and christopher famous ( and usually brilliant ) uncle francis come along with a kitschy and over hyped mainstream dracula film in 1992. as far a i be consider and the coppola would be well advise to keep their hand off the prince of darkness in the future . dracula widow be only recommended if you really have nothing well to do .
