Description: A group of thieves break into a chamber expecting to find paintings, but instead they release the count himself, who travels to New Orleans to find his nemesis' daughter, Mary Van Helsing.
Comments: Wes Craven needs to go back and enroll in Dracula 101. What is the deal with the silver spike bullets? Oh well, a gang of thieves trying to rip off valuable jewelry and works of art end up accidentally reincarnating Dracula, who has been resting for a lengthy spell. His blood has been preserved in fat leeches. After his awaking, dripping and splattered blood becomes the norm.

Visual effects are very interesting, but no great shakes. Very good camera work and noisy musical score. And there is a few places you actually get to jump from your seat. It is doubtful you would pay to see this one twice.

Veteran scary guy, Christopher Plummer is the keeper of the sleeping Prince of Darkness. Gerad Butler plays Dracula, but does not come across overly menacing. He tries too much to be suave and 'Mr. Cool'. Jennifer Esposito is sultry both dead and alive. She is not the only 'eye candy'; Jeri Ryan is more than an eye full and has the attitude you don't turn away from. Also turning in decent performances are Omar Epps and Justine Waddell.

Sink your teeth into it. Remember this is not top choice, but will sooth a graving.
