Review of Dracula 3D (2012) by Jimmi L — 16 Sep 2013

When Dario Argento first announced his decision to make an adaptation of Stoker's classic, I was very surprise what he could beside witches and nasty serial killers..... Again, the impression after seeing this film, kill all that amusing and must awaited film that I was expecting for.

Dracula 3D, loosely based in Stoker classic novel, tries to retrieve some aspects like the characters and lineage plot line like the novel will do, but knowing much better Argento, you know he always have something under his sleeves.....

Not only try to divert away from the plot of the novel but the scenes, plastic location, cheap VFX and bad dialogues, makes all the sense, why this film has never seen the proper light in theaters. Don't take me wrong , I really like Argento's work and Deep Red is one of my favorite horror movies but Dracula 3D is just an excuse that Argento can make classic horror monsters under his eyes but this one is not that case. Even the film tries enormously to bring some Argento's traditional film techniques like long shot knowing that a killing is gonna happen, some nude scenes and gory killings, it is not enough to consider this one a nice comeback for the master of the Italian horror.... All I can say, Mr. Argento go back with the witches and transvestites killers that fit very well with you, have a nice day!!!!!!!
