Great Film to add to Vampire Canon
17 June 2006
If you love vampires, you'll love Dracula's Curse. I've seen quite a few Asylum films and this one has to be the best one I've seen so far. The acting is solid and the characters are developed. The filmmaker is able to have a large cast without making it confusing and making each character count. There are no superfluous characters here (very important for the ending battle). The special effects and make-up effects are amazing to look at. AND it has a great story-line. I'm also impressed with the filmmaker's ability to not subject the viewer to the 'norms' of low-budget (and recently big-budget) horror films - such as gratuitous nudity and gore. Yes, this movie does have some of that, but it doesn't hit you over the head with it and allows you to not forget the story. There's no need to make excuses for this film given it's minuscule budget - it delivers!!! I was personally disappointed in Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula, and I think this was the movie it was supposed to be - sexy, entertaining and a great addition to the vampire lore. Rent it!!!
