No good. I could not finish watching this and I can watch some bad movies. I wouldn't waste your money.
August 2, 2008Straight up, this movie has some very bad acting and the makeup effects ARE from Wal-Mart Halloween masks". The movie overall has an ok plot and is only saved from kindling by Jeff Denton (Rafe) Rhett Giles (Van Helsing). It is good for a few laughs.
April 28, 2008I wasn't expecting much out of this low budget vampire flick, but half way through I forgot that I wasn't watching a big studio movie. Cool characters that were well acted, fight scenes where you can actually see what is happening, and great looking monster effects combine to make a film definitely worth watching. This movie has more plot and character development than the last ten Hollywood blockbusters I've seen combined. Definitely worth a look.

I love monster hunters. I should say that right off the bat. Stories concerning those brave mortal souls who venture out to kick the livin' crap out of all things dark just give me a thrill. When I first heard about Dracula's Curse I was hesitant. It boasted to be a film about monster hunters, yet, it is decidedly B and, for the most part, I NEVER rent straight-to-vid/produced on a shoestring budget movies. I just don't. They usually turn into a T&A fest and it's just boring and stupid.
Not so with Dracula's Curse. I'm not going to lie to you. It's shot on video, some of the acting is cheesy, a few of the makeup effects look like Wal-Mart Halloween masks, and the action scenes are anything but believable. However, with all that said, I really enjoyed this movie. It had heart, it had great central characters who were deep, interesting, and watchable. Like any good vampire hunter movie, this one has a descendent of Van Helsing, but he's so much more different than any Van Helsing I've ever seen that I was surprised, moved, and begging for more. There is a lot in this movie and, for the most part, all the character arcs and storylines fit together into a seamless whole. This is an intelligent spin on the vampire/ hunter relationship and I, for one, am dying for a sequel.
