Argento's Dracula
Directed by Dario Argento
Italian horror maestro Dario Argento puts his own gory spin on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the most famous horror novel of all time. While remaining mostly faithful to the book’s plot, about Dracula’s quest to woo Mina, the reincarnation of his long-dead love, Argento offers additions that up the gore and scare factors in unique ways. Argento’s long-suffering leading lady - his daughter Asia - plays Mina’s friend Lucy, who falls under Drac’s spell, while horror icon Rutger Hauer (BLADE RUNNER, THE HITCHER) is stellar as Van Helsing, the Count’s powerful nemesis.

To me, there's nothing that ruins a movie quicker than piss-poor CGI effects. I don't care for movies with heavy CGI effects to begin with. It's no excuse that this was made in 2012-13. This would be considered bad CGI for even the 90s! Sorry, but not even increased resolution on an LCD tv with above average sharpness and clarity can do it justice. An extra skull for the non-CGI boobies!
Never thought I'd be depressed watching a Dracula movie, but it's sad seeing such a talented filmmaker fall so hard. How the hell did those effects get approved?!
Dracula: I want to suck…
AWOOGA
Not Dario's best.
