Directed by Patrick Lussier and released 25 years ago today, Dracula 2000’s connections to Stoker’s novel are, at best, tenuous. Like Queen, Dracula 2000 was made quickly to cash in on these already-fleeting trends, and it makes for an incongruous viewing experience. The best Draculas require that balance of allure and danger, and Dracula 2000 is devoid of the latter. Dracula 2000 was not the megahit Bob Weinstein wanted it to be, but it still got two straight-to-video sequels. If ever there was a Dracula movie that deserved a remake, though, it’s this one.
