A
group of researchers resurrect Dracula
(Stephen Billington) so they can take
samples of his blood for their head
researcher named Lowell (Craig Sheffer)
to reverse the effects of his crippling
disease so he can walk again and regain a
good health but the blood seems to have
horrific results on becoming a vampire
themselves for anyone who injects it in
their system.
Meanwhile a powerful vampire slayer who
once was a preacher named Father Uffizi
(Jason Scott Lee) tries to hunt Dracula
down and to try and put an end to him or
anyone that was affected by him.
This sequel was
not as good as I found it hard to
understand what was going on as it's
mainly scientists doing blood experiments
after they resurrect another vampire.
There are good action fighting sequences
with plenty of blood to please the
gorehounds along with some descent
performances but this movie is very plain
and a little pointless.
The acting is
still quite good as Jason London
really had a different type of a
performance in this one than most of his
other roles which is a compliment showing
great energy and charisma.
Craig Sheffer is quite impressive as
a sick scientist in a weelchair as he
makes his voice sound so different and
pulls it off well.
Stephen Billington had the perfect
looks to play Dracula with his evil
features as well as his cold like voice
and nasty charm too.
Diane Neal does well with her
intimidations and emotions too proving to
be a worthy character actress.
John Light had a perfect serious
attitude as a nasty one in this film
along with good still expressions too and
came across very unpleasant.
Khary Payton does well with his wild
like attitude in the film coming across
very memorable for his part in it.
Jason Scott Lee had the most energy
of all as a warrior priest in the film
who portrayed a perfect vampire slayer by
doing them in good.
Many decapitated
heads
A skinless corpse
A tub filled with blood
An officers neck cut open
A face bitten off
Patrick
Lussier still packs a punch with
this one even if the story lacked a bit.
He shows great battling scene's with
Jason Scott Lee battling bit part
actress Jennifer Kroll as she
portrays two twin vampiress' attacking
him.
We spot a good setting with Jason
London and Diane Neal doing
research on a corpse of a vampire as well
as a good jumping scene when Neal checks
out the vampires teeth and some fangs
form to poke her as she reacts well.
There's also a nice setting when London,
Neal and some others place the
corpse into a tub of blood and later on a
nice rise attack by Stephen
Billington with the others panicking
and trying to stop him as well as a good
shot on supporting actress Brande
Roderick being pulled in head first
into the tub by Billington.
There's a nice shot on supporting actor
John Sharian as an officer trembling
and holding a gun towards Lee
and stuttering his words to not move as
well as a nice jumping action by bit part
actress Kroll trying to attack Lee
with great shots on their battles.
Terrific reactions on Billington
suffering in pain when chained up and a
light reflecting on him.
Many spooky scene's with Neal
approaching Billington to take
blood samples from him and he talks
coldly and smooth to her as she shows
some frightened expressions which were
impressive.
Nice shots on Lee whipping
himself along with a flashback dialogue
between him and supporting actor Roy
Scheider
John
Light does well by grabbing Neal
by the hair during a certain scene and
acting threatening and aggressive too.
There's a nice reaction on Khary Payton after
he injects himself with a needle of
dracula's blood along with him menacingly
approaching Craig Sheffer and
grabs him by the throat as Sheffer shows
some nice suffocating reactions and
paranoid expressions too along with a
good close up shot on Payton
with his vampire features.
We have perfect close up shots on both Sheffer
and Billington's eyes looking at
one another along with a shot on Sheffer
rolling his wheelchair close to a ledge.
A good angle shot on Sheffer
speaking evil like towards Neal
by a staircase.
Another great battle scene towards Billington
and Sheffer in a hallway as
Sheffer shows nice aggressive
attitude.
Neal reacts well when she is slowly
turning by acting weak.
There are good moments with Lee
and Billington fighting one
another as well as Lee breaking open
window light to try and stop him.
Marco Beltrami
brings along Kevin Kliesch to compose the
music with him athough it's nowhere near
as good it still is passable as we have
some pounding classical scores along with
some sharp sounds and chanting too.
Luke:
Where's Kenny?
Eric: Dead! Very dead!
Luke: You killed him?
Eric: Yes.
[Luke aims his spear at Eric]
Eric: No! No, somebody beat me to
it. And that same son of a bitch is
coming for us!
Luke: Just one guy?
Eric: One guy? One guy?
Luke: Yes!
Eric: Yes, one guy! And here's the
kicker... he's a bloody priest!
Luke: A priest?
Eric: Priest from hell!
