As he did with his adaptation of "Phantom of the Opera," Argento offers up a version that plays like a choppy condensation based on hazy memories of the book, then augments it with nudity and gore.

When insects are the best thing in your movie, it's probably time to retire.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 3, 2013

Argento ... brings enough moments of kinky madness to his not-great "Dracula" to indicate there may yet be greatness lurking within him. Here's hoping.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 3, 2013

It's a stain on Dracula's good name, and a waste of time for even those looking for the cheapest of vampiric thrills.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 3, 2013

Argento strands his actors in a variety of crummy master shots and close-ups that accentuate their every exaggerated gesture and line-reading.

| Original Score: D | Oct 3, 2013

Some viewers will get unintended jollies from a gigantic, rampaging grasshopper; others, from the director's queasy-making penchant for unclothing his exhibitionist daughter Asia.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 1, 2013

Unfortunately, Argento never acknowledges he's in on the joke, nor is the film quite ridiculous enough for us to coast enjoyably on derision.

| Oct 1, 2013

Director Argento half-heartedly mixes schlocky 3D f/x with one-dimensional characters for a near-two-hour joke that ought to have been funnier.

| Sep 30, 2013

Utterly lacking in imagination or suspense, this inane effort is strictly for hardcore Argento cultists.

| Sep 30, 2013

The film is dispiriting because there's virtually no sign of Dario Argento in it, nor of any novel motivation to mount yet another version of an oft-told tale.
