Review of Dracula 3000

Dracula 3000 (2004)
9/10
So bad it's good almost great
9 October 2005
Just look at the cast and read the synopsis and then think of how silly those elements can be and you know you're in for a good time. It seems pretty clear they ran out of money or for some other reason never really shot the ending. Yes, I know films are shot out of sequence but the ending would have involved lots of special effects and perhaps they just gave up.

A silly inept film. The Rapper gives the best performance, but that's been the case in other movies. Probably one of the worst Dracula movies but that would be a stiff race to decide. But this is entertaining badness, fast paced, ridiculous, with the occasional out of left field surprise to keep it going. The director began his career with some rather serious films but he's either lost all sense of what to do or some other tragedy has overtaken him.

Fans of bad movies check it out. This is one of those films that makes the distributor Lion's Gate seem like Troama--a company that prides itself on badness and entertains as such. Unfortunately most of Lion's Gate bad output is just unwatchable bad, but this one is a gem.
