When Jonathan arrives to a village near the border of Transylvania, in order to work for Count Dracula in his castle, mysterious deaths and disappearings start to happen. They all seem to lead to the powerful Count and his blood thirst. Going after her husband, Mina is yet to discover where Jonathan is and the dark story Abraham Van Helsing knows.
I wouldn't call myself a real fan of Argento, but I do fandom his movies. Although I'm not properly instructed of filming technics, I was always able to identify a Dario movie through some characteristics I like, such as the slow pace and the tense mood, the photography and the similarity in profile between his characters. However, I was not able to distinguish much of these elements in Dracula. It is slow paced, and of course there is Asia Argento (who plays Lucy), but it stops there.
It is not so bad as everybody is saying, in fact, I already expected this level of production after having seen the trailer, a year ago. Also, it being in 3D contributes to the use of poor CGI, which some people strongly criticized, but wasn't it the same in "Final Destination IV"? After all, the lame effects didn't bother me as the lack of Dario-identity did. Guess I could use that therm...
Whether you are a fan or not, it is worth checking this out, as a good and traditional vampire story is never too cliché.
