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.

Gak! Sounds dreadful. When I saw a clip of the insect, looking faker than CG from early 90's TV, I was weary. But not a big loss to me, as I'm not into the doesn't-make-any-sense nightmare films anyway.
