The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Dracula (2013)

AKA: Argento's Dracula 3D

Starring: Thomas Kretschmann, Asia Argento, Ruter Hauer, Marta Gastini, Miriam Giovaelli
Director: Dario Argento

Premise:
A vampire is taking over a small town and a vampire hunter must come save the day (come on, if you know the story of Dracula by now then something is wrong).

My Take:
I hate to say this as Dario Argento is one of my favorite directors, but this movie is a complete mess. It borders on melodrama with carbon acting. There is very little substance on this retelling of a classic and even less style. Top it off with utterly horrible computerize effects. This is one movie to avoid.
