This isn't exactly a Dracula movie as you find out in a plot twist. The twist was well hidden and made this even a more interesting premise on vampire movies. Gerard Butler, Christopher Plummer & Justine Waddell all did great in their roles. The story is interesting and keeps you watching. The gore is top notch. I like the fact it has the Van Helsing family connection. I know Wes Craven didn't direct this film but he was an executive producer and the film has his style about it. The sequels are progressively worse,but are also watchable. Good trilogy to watch on a rainy day. The fact that Wes Craven thought enough of this story to attach his name to it should tell you all you need to know.
