I finally can comment on one of these threads...lol. Last night I finally got to sit down and actually watch a movie. I haven't had time to watch one in a couple weeks and it just so happens I watched a vampire related one.
Dario Argento's Dracula
For those who haven't seen it, don't...lol. Save yourself 2 hours of torture. In all honesty It actually seemed very much like a throwback to Hammer's films with the sets, costumes, color of blood, etc., but the special effects and story played felt more like an Asylum production for the SyFy Channel.
Spoiler: Dracula can turn himself into a "Giant" Praying Mantis now. Unfortunately it wasn't as cool as it sounds.
Had the film been treated more as a comedy in the vein of a SyFy channel movie, I might have actually gotten a kick out of it, but the seriousness of it made it more boring than anything. Dario's Phantom Of The Opera was pretty "dry" but this was a "desert" compared to that.
