Amazon.co.uk Review
Stylish, snappy and entirely without a coherent idea in its head, Dracula 2001 is "Presented by Wes Craven" but shows comparatively little sign of his controlling intelligence. This is very much "Dracula--the Rock Video" with some memorable dream sequences and a lot of product placement: the heroine may not be a virgin but she works at Virgin Records. Among its incidental pleasures are a high-tech bank raid which secures the thieves nothing but an ominous silver coffin, Christopher Plummer as an immortal Van Helsing surviving by injections of leeches that feed on the imprisoned Dracula, Johnny Lee Miller as an unusually obtuse servant of good and Star Trek: Voyager's Jeri Ryan as a television news reporter turned Bride of Evil. The early scenes make interesting use of London's Eurostar terminal as a sinister backdrop. The climax moves to New Orleans during Mardi Gras giving the film a frenetic edginess and a lot of partially clad people to look at; it also proves to tie into a moderately inventive reconsideration of Dracula's origins.--Roz Kaveney

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't care if he IS the Lord of the Undead...bite me and bite me NOW!, 14 Oct 2006
By Sue Lewendon "Film fanatic" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000 [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
What a great twist to the age old story of the blood sucking vamp! It amazes me that no-one has thought up the twist before, (including me), as it's quite believable...well it would be if there WERE such things as vampires! But oh how I long for there to be a Dracula so sexy and charasmatic as this one played to perfection by my beloved Gerry!

You may think that I'm just bigging up this film because I adore/worship/lust after Gerard Butler, (check out my name!), but you would be wrong. I admit that's what made me buy it in the first, place but how great to find an actually bloody good film to boot!


******POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!!******

The idea of Dracula actually being Judas Ischariot, (hence the hate of all things Christian, the cross, the bible and silver which represents his payment for betraying Jesus,) is mind bogglingly brilliant. It's perfectly suited to this dark, gothic character. The speech he gives on the rooftop at the end while looking up at a neon crucifix, complete with Jesus, is so well played and heartfelt that it's hard to despise this monster. Especially in recent months, (post DaVinci Code madness), when there has apparently been uncovered some bible pages that give clues to say that Judas was asked by Jesus Himself to betray Him. But I suppose we have to make up our own minds about that just as we do with DaVinci Code.

Aside from the story, there are some other great performances, Christopher Plummer and Justine Waddell in particular stand out for me. He is completely believable as the 100 year old Van Helsing who has kept himself alive by injecting himself with regular, small amounts of Dracula's blood, (extracted with the use of leeches), simply to protect the world from said beastie until he can find a way to kill him. Waddell plays a very convincing, haunted and terrified character. She is unaware that she's Van Helsing's daughter, conceived after he began his little blood transfusions, and therefore has a kind of dormant mental link to Drac himself. (She just thinks she's going barmy, having weird dreams of a truly hunky man!)

Some of the other performances were just a little too cheesy for my liking. I like a bit of cheddar now and then just as much as the next person, but some lines have a highly overpowering odour of Gorgonzola! I am pretty convinced that this is simply down to good ol' Wes Craven. He does like his one liners doesn't he? Omar Epps character has some really dire lines that have me cringing every time..."An eye for an eye mate"...is one that really annoys me...if you've seen it, you'll know what I mean! And something else that gets my goat up too is not just in this film but in most vamp flicks, and that's WHY do they have to have them hiss??? They aren't humans inbred with li'l pussy tats...THEY ARE THE BLOOD SUCKING UNDEAD!!! (O.K. rant over!)

Only two things have me creased up with laughter in this film that I shouldn't find funny...1) The size of Johnny Lee Miller's neck in proportion to his head!... and 2)The varying shapes and sizes of the all famous canines! O.K. everyone as different shaped teeth but come on! Jennifer Esposito's look like they ran out of proper falsies and gave her some made out of card...by a 4 year old!!!

After all my griping though, I still have to give this a full 5 stars. The good/great FAR outweigh the Stilton. Fave scene has gotta be when Draccie is watching the music vid on the side of the Virgin Megastore..."Brilliant!" Oh who am I kidding? I LOVE EVERY SCENE HE'S IN!!! :o)

If you're a fan of Wes Craven, you'll love this. If you like a good story you'll probably get something out of this too, as long as you keep an open mind to accept the cheese with a bottle of a good red next to you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gerard Butler is a sexy,seductive Dracula, 31 Jan 2004
This film breaks away from the "traditional" vampire film. And it is done really well. Gerard Butler plays a sexy, seductive Dracula which makes your legs go weak everytime he comes on the screen.
This film definatly brings the age old story of Dracula into the 21st Century with style!

4.0 out of 5 stars CAMP YET STYLISH... ??, 16 Jul 2002
By Paulie Bee (EDINBURGH, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wes Craven presents - Dracula 2001 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
INTERESTING. Some of the dialogue is a bit tacky but if you enjoy a good horror romp, then this is for you. I know classic Drac fanatics will turn in their graves(!) but I thought it was totally FAB. Actually left me with something of a fondness for the blood-thirsty anti-hero. A twist on the original story at the end was rather bizarre - but did leave me pondering for a while afterwards, so guess it worked, then. Wasn't too sure about casting of Jonny Lee Miller (perhaps a reflection of Keanu's performance in the otherwise brilliant Bram Stoker version??) - and would've loved to have seen Sam Raimi at the helm!! Just an afterthought, though: how come Gerard Butler isn't a huge star?
