OK, here's the sweet and lowdown...

Now let me start this post by saying that Udo Kier is an awesome actor. Now look into his eyes when he is doing his scenes. He looks like he is the only one in on the joke, that this movie is ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES EVER MADE.

From the same type financiers who brought us the euro funded "2001: A Space Travesty" comes "DRACULA 3000" a romp in... well, not really a romp. I mean, what, there was like three sets? And just because it takes place on a ship doesn't mean that they should think they could get away with using the sound stage AS THE SHIP. I mean, the sound stage, as the sound stage. No decorative set up, nothing.

It truly is repugnant.

I really feel sorry for talented actors Casper Van Dien, Erika Eleniak, and yes, Coolio too, because he looked like he was trying the best he could with essenitally NO material to work with.

And who was that b'itch who couldn't act? I mean REALLY couldn't act? I found myself squirming every time she was onscreen because you could tell that she must have been the producers' daughter or something. She had no right acting in that movie. Or maybe she did. Why? Because it SUCKED. Watch it once for laughs, then take a bath in bleach.

Heh, that was some good stuffs when she (a navigator) is first creepin' all about the ship (alone), wearing some kinda cheap diving mask. "Hello, helloooo?"

Erika Eleniak was the reason I watched it. I agree the actors are not to blame for this. It could have been better. I gave it a C.

Prior to this, I've never heard of Erika Eleniak. Judging by her performance in the movie, I can't imagine why she would be the driving factor behind your need to see this. :)

I don't agree with you on the actors not being to blame. Certainly they aren't completley at fault and perhaps they didn't write the movie, but they aren't robots either. I know next to nothing about the production of a movie and the interaction between a director and it's actors, but I'd have a hard time believing that they would completley disregard all feedback from the actors.

Coolio was just aweful, so bad it was funny (just like the movie). :P
