Will I watch it again? No.
Jesus! Enough with the dog whining, already! Everywhere you turn, dogs are whining and it gets old fast. The premise is ridiculous and the film makers went the straight route instead of embracing the goofy story and have fun with it. It's slow enough that you'll be banging your head halfway through when you find out your only halfway through. The dog kills aren't nearly as convincing as they should be. More time could've been spent editing something better. Once you get past Zoltan being a vampire and after he bites and kills other dogs, they come back to life. This sounds like winning fun but it isn't. It drags. We're told that Michael (Patakai) is Dracula's last living heir but Michael has a young son, so there's that. The music is as bland as Jose Ferrer's performance. He phones it in on someone else's dime. At least it's got the Euro horror stalwart, Reggie Nalder. That guy's unique mug is perfect for these pictures. The ending is soso. The dogs are killed and that's that. This low budget affair isn't even worthy of a group watch with the liquor sauce flowing. I feel zapped enough of energy as it is after watching it.
