Eric’s Bad Movies: ‘Dracula 2000′ (2000)
Since it’s vampire week in America, I’ve focused my Film.com columns on a fellow by the name of Dracula. What’s the Big Deal? on Tuesday was about the original Bela Lugosi “Dracula,” and today’s edition of Eric’s Bad Movies is on “Dracula 2000,” a modern addition to the canon.
I broke one of my guidelines with “Dracula 2000,” since I also reviewed it when it came out theatrically. But I wanted to do something vampire-related, and it was clear from re-reading my review that I had not fully explored all the ways in which this particular movie sucks. Also, I wasn’t able to share the preposterous conclusion in the review, since reviews aren’t supposed to be spoiler-y, but I have no such compunction with Eric’s Bad Movies. Enjoy, won’t you?

I remember seeing this when it first came out and thinking it was just about the best thing ever (I was about 11 years old at the time). Well a few months ago it was on tv and I got so excited (having not seen it since my original viewing). After watching it all these years later all I could think was “WTF! Why did I enjoy this so much?”. It was a sad and funny moment. All in all this only serves to prove that 11 year olds are crazy and have horrible taste… which seems to explain the Twilight phenomenon.

Eric – another classic bad movie review but you MUST review Dracula 3000! It’s hilarious and I know you would do it justice.
