DRACULA II: ASCENSION
Plot Synopsis, Review
Taking pace directly after Dracula 2000, a group of medical students come across a strange corpse while in the morgue. They take the body to a secluded place where they bring it back to life, and in a terrifying turn, the original vampire Dracula slowly starts injecting himself into the young group.
Pathetic. The even crapper sequel to a shit film. Seriously, after Wes Craven attached himself to the preceeding piece of shit, he surely could've known this DIRECT-TO-DVD was gonna be shitter. Firstly, the character of Dracula looked nothing like Gerard Butler's in the last film. He had long dark hair, but this time they hired an actor with short light blonde hair. Casting people in their late 20's / early 30's as college students was idiodic too because it makes it that much more unrealistic and shit. It only had one or two references to the previous flick, another ntch on the belt of pathetic sequels. The ending was predictable and worthless.
The plot was written by Joel Soisson & Patrick Lussier, and presented by Wes Craven who usually attaches to good films. Too many plot holes and boring sequences that really had nothing to do with Dracula hint and represent that this film is a piece of shit.
The acting was horrible. Diane Neal played heroine Elizabeth. We can be thankful she screamed only once in the film, because it was the fakest one i've probably ever heard. Brande Roderick from Baywatch was killed off relatively quickly which was great because filling the screen with even more mutton was enought to make me wanna turn it off. The acting was simply horrible.
Overall "Dracula II: Asension" is a terrible sequel to a terrible re-imagining that deserves no recognition and should be bolted in a coffin itself. My rating is 1.5/5.
