Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches and slam in the back of my… Virgin Megastore?
- The soundtrack is so cringe. I do not refer to the Powerman/Static-X/Godsmack/etc. music in the club scenes (although that also sux). The film’s score is a jarring mix of post-Matrix techno and conventional string arrangements.
- Jennifer Esposito did not have enough scenes before she became a Bride of Drac. She always brings something interesting to the screen.
- The guy with the glasses… you know the one. I was happy to see him meet his fate on the airplane.
- Christopher Plummer followed up an excellent performance as Mike Wallace in The Insider with his role here as Van Helsing. Truly a baffling career.
- Horny Dracula is always better than not-horny Dracula, even though he is pursuing someone who is sort of related to him (I didn’t understand how the leech blood went from Drac to Van Helsing to Mary).
5 Thoughts on… is a quick dispatch on movies that might not otherwise be covered in our normal features.
