Dario Argento's Dracula (2012)

Now, I am a huge fan of Argento but, his last few films are lacking compared to his classics. This film is not the exception though it does have a couple of high notes. Dracula himself looks cool, so does Van Helsing, lots of very good looking women and some awesome kills. The story however is lacking. Somewhat predictable, unnecessary that does include elements from the novel but tends to stray into left field. Trust me when I say that Dracula doesn't need to become a giant insect to kill someone. There is not enough redeeming factors to even make this film enjoyable. Bits of lights through the darkness and a couple of great performances is not enough to save this movie....sadly, it sucks and not in a good way.
