Hammer Horror hits a new low in boredom
9 November 2002
Grotesque effects and the star presence of Christopher Lee do little more than salve the wounds these "Scars" will leave on the average audience -- for gothic horror fans equipped with a dose of patience only. A few moments are exciting, but the script is not subtle, its characters unconvincingly foolish. Dracula's servant does a bit to lighten things up with memorable acting. The plot and story are very predictable (basically the only "plot" is a series of people coming and going from Dracula's castle, in search of the first missing visitor).

OK direction, but more care should have been taken in editing out the boring parts (perhaps before production began). Poor results.
