Bad Film

Alucard is one of the worst vampire movies I have ever seen. The setting is bad, the acting is bad and any true vampire movie lover will hate this film. September 3, 2008

WHAT A WASTE !!

An incredible waste of time and money. Bad acting, bad plot, bad cinematography - steer clear of this mess! August 21, 2008

Closer to Stoker's story than most

I bought this because it sounded interesting, with Stoker's story brought into modern times. It surprised me because it's closer to the book than many movie versions are. It is basically a filmed version of all the characters' diaries and most of the dialogue and exposition are taken directly from the book. John Johnson, the director, who also plays the role of Quincey Morris, definitely had a feel for the original material and put a lot of thought into his film. OK, the production values aren't high and the FX aren't the greatest, but the story is there. The film was a pleasant surprise for me and I believe anyone who loves the book won't be disappointed with this retelling. July 21, 2008
