Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Should be Descension
Review: What a let down after Dracula 2000. Plot line was weak. Dracula doesn't do anything vampirish other than trying to seduce the female lead by thought only. He spends the entire movie in chains, until (A VERY BITTER) end. It is so anticlimatic--leaves you hanging high and dry. What happened?? One bright spot--Jason Scott Lee was fabulous as the vampire hunter.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A surprisingly good follow up to Dracula 2000
Review: Yes they made a follow up to the not very like Dracula 2000, but there was enough of a fan basis that they did so. The edn result is two parter that gets off the a surprisngly good start.

At the end of Dracula 2000, Dracula is hanging underneath a cross burning in the morning sun. After his body is exstinguished he is taken to a local morgue where some medical students discover that the body is that of Draculas. In the meantime a Vampire Hunter who works for the Catholic church (Think John Carpenters Vampires for a moment) is out to retrive and destroy the body. However a mysteriouse benefactor claims it first.

The story is actually a good start to the followup and actually has a strong cast to support it. With star Power like Craig Sheifer (Hellraiser Inferno) Jason Scott Lee (Dragon the Bruce Lee Story) and Roy Schneider (JAws) this chapter in the series is surprisngly entertaining and with a certain flair that makes one forgive the fairly laughable Dracula 2000.
