I actually like part 2 better because it's so ridiculous.

reply

I’ve never seen it. I’ll add it to my watchlist. 👍

reply

It's not good, but it's one of those that are so stupid that I enjoy it for the sheer craziness.

reply

It sounds like it will be right up my alley.

reply

Not really my thing, but it has Nicolas Cage in it, so that is a point in its favor.
I'm probably going to skip it, but it honestly doesn't look that bad.

reply

No

reply

yes. It looks like they're trying to do something a little different in the vampire genre. I'll check it out.

The original Dwight Frye Renfield could not be improved upon. He was the most strikingly repulsive aspect of the original Dracula. An utterly debased human being, a beta to a ghost, reduced to eating rats & bugs. Oh yeah !

reply

It was like it was trying too hard to be funny.

reply

Nic Cage hamming it up as Dracula?

Count me in 100%!

reply

I love Nic Cage, but I didn’t laugh once during the trailer.

reply

It may have been just a bad trailer but when I saw Cage I got immediately happy. He’s so insanely intense he kills me lol.

If you want to see an insanely silly, unintentional comedy check him out in the Wicker Man remake. That movie is funnier than most comedies!

reply

I can't stand comedy and horror, although there are few that good most of them too childish for me.

reply

they don't work for the most part. not to be taken seriously.
