2000 - Rated R - 1 hr 39 min
Director: Patrick Lussier
Starring: Gerard Butler, Christopher Plummer, Omar Epps
This movie, evidently, was filmed before Gerard Butler was hot. Seriously. He's skinny, skeevy, and has crazy hair. Wes Craven's Dracula is definitely scary, and not as seductive as you might think.... for the ladies anyway.
On the upside, Jeri Ryan makes a hot reporter-gone-vamp, so there's that for the male viewership. In fact, with this bit part and her teensy appearance in Down With Love, I think I might have just watched her entire movie career in one letter. Oh, Seven of Nine, where are you now?
So this one's another boy movie (duh) and I wasn't thrilled. It seems to be made purely for it's vampire violence and sexual content - honestly, how many slutty vampires does this guy need? It also has a huge cast of TV show stars. The curly-fro guy from That 70's Show, Foreman from House, the new squintern guy on Bones, and of course, Nathan Fillion. He makes a pretty cute priest, I might add. Cuter than Gerard Butler, too.
In a long list of things that came out in the year 2000 with the number 2000 in their title, just because, this one falls somewhere in the middle. Not great, not horrible. Just more white noise with all that vampire stuff that's out there now.
