Dracula: The Original Living Vampire

This is a very poor adaptation of a classic story; throwing in "modern" twists such as same sex relationships is a pathetic attempt to bring a different slant on it. A female lead investigator is also not sufficient to add a new slant. The acting is at best wooden, the script lacks depth and the whole thing is almost incongruous.

The direction is non-existent; special effects are OK but even on a budget this film is a let down.

This film is really not worth watching other than to show film students how NOT to make films. I'm unsure what they were thinking when producers gave a green light to this production but clearly ot wasn't logic!!!

The only thing you will be missing after watching this movie is the last hour and half of your life. Don't waste your time, it is indescribably bad, really bad.

What was Michael Ironside thinking when agreeing to be in this movie.

Absolutely terrible. Horrible special effects. Terrible acting. This should never have been made. This is a insult to not only the Dracula story but also cinema as a whole.

Avoid like the plague.

I'm not suprised the 3 young ones haven't worked since this movie, it's terrible. I would like to 1 star it.

Ironside is Ironside, plank like, he must have done this to relieve boredom or for pocket money.

The story line has nothing new to add to the countless Dracula movies that have been done over the years. From that standpoint there's really no need to watch. There are a couple of aspects that raise it above a one-star movie. First, the set designs were actually good. With a few notable exceptions things seemed pretty consistent with a late 19th century setting it claimed to be. The telephone and electric fan, though old, were not that old. Second, for a cast of mostly no-name actors, the acting wasn't the worst I've seen. No future Oscar winners here, but the acting wasn't bad enough to be a distraction.
