Dracula: The Original Living Vampire

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.

I have watched many Dracula movies but this is the worst I have ever seen. You can tell the "stars" are in their first movies. The dialogue is stilted. And poor Michael Ironside was the only good thing in this movie. This is the worst movie I have seen him in and I have watched Highlander 2.

But the worst part of it was the lighting. You couldn't see two thirds of the movie. And they had electric lamps, why was everything lighted by lamps?

Do not see this movie unless you want a terrible movie to riff on. My friend Dok had riffed on it a lot. There was less gratuitous T and A in a piranha movie. Why did we have to see dead tits over and over again.

Wow this hurt.

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.

It's been years since I saw acting this bad, the story line is wooden as is the acting. Honestly don't waste your time with this film, I managed 20min before finally giving in.
