    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Oh dear!

    There are moments where you can plainly tell Argento and company were in on the joke and knew the shitty movie they were making which elevates it slightly, but only for those moments… then it just goes back to being yet another bad direct to video adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

    Argento just paints by numbers, sprinkling the bland results with a few moments of crazy gore. His actors are either bad, embarrassed or phoning it in… I swear to God I caught Rutger Hauer reading off a cue card, his eyes darting back and forth as he falls over his words in a monotone like a last minute guest on Saturday Night Live.

    Yeah... Argento hasn't made a decent film in awhile... Giallo was dull. La Terza Madre was OK, but wasted potential. Big fan of both Inferno and Suspiria here.

    Wow, cancel my earlier optimism - this film looks like absolute SHIT!

    If there's one good thing we can take from this film it's that Romero isn't the only once very good horror director making absolute garbage these days!



    Man, how the once mighty have fallen!

    Man, you cannot believe how sad this makes me. Didn't have high hopes for this dracula, now i have none.
    How a man who made a long series of seriously brilliant horrorfilms (everything from Bird with the Crystal plumage up to Opera + Sleepless) is now attaching his name to such drivel is beyond me. The horror!

    This makes GAR's latest look like Citizen Kane.
