While the result certainly doesn't suck, it does lack any real bite.

Reviews for Dracula 2000
Mary, a descendant of the prototypical vampire slayer, works at a Virgin megastore in New Orleans, and the gratuitous use of the city during Mardi Gras is the least of this movie's unoriginal sins.

Top CriticThe use of Craven’s name in the title is a cheesy marketing ploy and the secret to the fanged suitor’s aversion to all things Christian is an even cheesier hoot.
08/07/08
We're talking 5,940 seconds better spent doing anything else under the sun, including but not limited to pulling out one's toenails one by one.
07/30/07
One half-expects a sexually subversive, blood-soaked gay carnival. Instead, Simon makes the effete Dracula (Butler) suck on some abuse.
01/26/06
The filmmakers were stuck with a script containing good ideas poorly executed.
12/06/05
[It] will be consigned to the bin with all the other Dracula rejects.
09/30/05
There's enough holes in the plot to drive a 40-foot hearse through.
02/13/03
There are precious few good performances in this movie, and it would be really great if the title character were one of them.
02/08/03
The filmmakers were stuck with a script containing good ideas poorly executed.
12/08/02
While not a truly terrible vampire movie like The Forsaken, Dracula 2000 could have been so much more.

Top CriticDirector Patrick Lussier has a keen eye for color and knows how to compose a great-looking shot; unfortunately, Lussier also co-wrote and edited the film, effectively undermining his talent.
06/15/02
The film concentrates more on the gore and less on fright and suspense.
06/05/02
Unable to add a single new thought or shot to the tired vampire genre.
03/10/02
Anyone not high and surrounded by thirty of their closest friends would be well advised to leave this Dracula entombed.
03/08/02
Just what we need: another Dracula movie!
12/10/01
Its screenplay is so rudderless and random that it might just as well have been written by the vacuous pre-teens that most likely comprise its key demographic.
10/28/01
Dracula 2000 is an update of the classic story that unfortunately drives several nails into the coffin of the vampire genre.
09/26/01
This is occasionally entertaining stuff, but deeply silly.
