After the near death of Dracula (Originally played by Gerard Bulter and now played by Stephen Bilington) When an medical student (Diane Neal) and other med student (Jason London) accidentally discovered the body of Dracula. They find out that it needs fresh human blood to resurrect. When a mysterious dealer wants to pay them $30 million for the body of Dracula. They unwillingly agreed but a renegade priest/vampire slayer (Jason Scott Lee) looks for the body of Dracula. He finds himself in deeper trouble than he could imagine.
Directed by Patrick Lussier (Dracula 2000, My Bloody Valentine "2009", White Noise 2) made an watchable Direct to DVD sequel to "Dracula 2000". Which the director certainly tries hard to match the quality of the original and it is just as good. The cast are decent enough although Lee looks lost half of the time with his role.
DVD has an sharp strong anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has cast auditions, deleted scenes and an audio commentary by the filmmakers. This was made as the same time for "Dracula 3". Although it is quite annoying with each film, they keep changing actors to play Dracula. But Craig Sheffer does have some fun with his supporting role as a college professor and the late Roy Scheider in a small part as a priest. At least... "Dracual 2:Ascension" has some interesting plot turns. Lussier's second film has good locations and fine production values. Horror fans will enjoy this one best. Super 35. (*** 1/2 out of *****).
