this a second time , after a couple of weeks, made all the difference. the casting
is appalling; Steiger is dreadful, really over the top, and most of the others
couldn't act out of a paper bag, never mind a coffin. But the sheer embarassment
of the badness wears off; second time around, I could follow the story,
appreciate some strong dialog, and actually get to empathise with the characters.
Treating it as a bit of rivalry between two rival clans, and it works; it work
quite well. There are errors; theyweren't sure how much to make it a serious
movie, how much a spoof, and that confusion shows. But the unforgivable mistake
(don't worry, it doesn't ruin the movie, just makes you laugh), is bringing Dracula
into the story. Film makers, ask yourself one question. How did Dracula
get to be the Big Guy in Vampire culture? Because he doesn't get offed by the
first Hollywood wannabe, that's how. Your heros will never be believable if they
don't respect quality; they just look cheap. The DVDFormat: Color,
