Brilliantly bad!
It's awful. Terrible, God-awful. Dreadful. Rotten... And lots and lots of fun. It's so bad it's good. I was laughing the entire time. It's the Plan 9 from Outer Space of Dracula movies. It's brilliant!And then when Abraham Van Helsing shows up it's priceless. He randomly breaks into Lucy's house instead of knocking. Then he breaks into a blacksmith's shop and kills a guy for coming into the shop. Now for all Van Helsing knew it could have been the blacksmith, we the audience knew it was one of Dracula's minion, but he didn't. And he impale's the guy's head on something sharp hanging on the wall. In fact he kills at least two humans. And we already know the town's economy is dependent on Dracula. And it has such great likes as "Thank god I had enough garlic for that bullet." You mean the fact that it was silver meant nothing?!
And there's the head scratching moment of when Mina says to Dracula "You killed Lucy!" and he says "I gave her eternal life." So she switches gears "You killed Jonathan!" and he says "He was in the way." Dafuq?! You made him a vampire too! Why did you just lie!??
Oh, yes, and there's a scene where Dracula turns into a seven foot tall mantis which is why my friends and I have nicknamed this movie Mantis-Drac. I love this movie.
score 10/10
