I did have a bloody good time, in both senses of the word. This gorefest is a horror fan's delight. Its references will keep you entertained, but you'll stay for the witty one-liners and endless fountains of blood.
The movie begins in the early 20th century where Dracula leaves off. The Harkers move to America to escape their past. Of course, as with any past, it follows and we end up in the present day with three siblings, descendants of Mina and Jonathan, about to lose the family homestead.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by this movie. From the first 15 minutes or so I thought I might be sitting through yet another adolescent boy fantasy. But as with any decent adolescent, the movie soon stars to grow up. That doesn't mean it's not still funny and disgusting. But the movies central theme-the bonds of family and friends-begins to shine through, creating a Cairo-blood, red filter of kinship.
If you are the type of horror fan that gets their comedy straight from your horror movies, or the type that enjoys the odd horror comedy, you're going to love this movie.
And if anyone involved is reading, I'd love to see a sequel.
