Long ago, Abraham Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer) imprisoned the infamous Count Dracula (Gerard Butler) within a vault inside Carfax Abbey. In the present day, Van Helsing relies on Dracula's immortal blood to remain alive. But then thieves break into the vault and steal the vampire's coffin, thinking it contains something valuable. Liberated from his prison, Dracula seizes the opportunity to escape, but Van Helsing sets out to banish him to the crypt once again.

Critics Consensus

This retelling trys to offer a different spin on the origin of Dracula. Unfortunately, there's nothing here audiences haven't seen before.

Mary, a descendant of the prototypical vampire slayer, works at a Virgin megastore in New Orleans, and the gratuitous use of the city during Mardi Gras is the least of this movie's unoriginal sins.

Time Out

One half-expects a sexually subversive, blood-soaked gay carnival. Instead, Simon makes the effete Dracula (Butler) suck on some abuse.

This is occasionally entertaining stuff, but deeply silly.

retains the Count’s mysterious powers – his ability to change form (wolves, bats), mesmerize victims, and summon fog and storms – as well as his weaknesses (silver, crosses), while seamlessly inventing a credible origin story for vampires using Biblical

Butler is certainly charismatic as the undead bloodsucker, despite only having two expressions: slight bafflement, and, when an attractive neck comes into view, that of a small boy who's just heard an ice-cream van tinkling round the corner.

3/5

Has its moments, comic and heart-in-the-mouth, especially when Butler's Dracula is allowed to strut his stuff.

The "soundtrack" is better than the entire movie.

It truly is tragic. One of the best origins of Dracula to ever be conceived and it is wasted on a pretty bad movie.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Another pretty standard 2000's horror/action. Everything here will be highly recognizable. Watchable to be sure, just keep expectations in check. Butler is very off character for his brand I suppose, in a good way it seems.
