![Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000 [DVD] [2000]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Patrick Lussier's update of the vampire legend Dracula 2000 comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. An English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. Spanish subtitles are accessible. The extensive supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by both the director and the screenwriter (Joel Soisson), deleted scenes and extended scenes (both with commentary from the director and screenwriter), storyboards, behind-the-scenes footage, audition tapes of the cast members, and the theatrical trailer. This is an excellent release that delivers a solid presentation of the film as well as informative and entertaining extras.

So I am a HUGE Dracula/vampire fan and when I saw this movie come out back in 2000, I couldn't wait to see it! The movie was well done, the only thing that could have been bolstered more so was the plot. It really lacked something to be interested in and could use a little more flare and suspense. But other than that its loosely based on the novel by Bram Stoker (even has characters named after some in the book). Also has two sequels "Dracula II: Ascension" and "Dracula III: Legacy"
What's great about it: loosely based on Bram Stokers novel, introduces interesting persective on vampire mythos
What's not so great: the plot is lacking
I would recommend this to a friend!

This direct-to-video sequel to the thriller Dracula 2000 gets a surprisingly glossy treatment on DVD. Dracula II: Ascension has been given a widescreen transfer at an aspect ratio of 2.35:1; the image is letterboxed on conventional television sets, and enhanced for 16 x 9 playback on widescreen monitors. The audio has been mixed and mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1; while there are no multiple language options, the disc has been closed captioned in English. In addition to the full-length feature, the disc also features bonus material, including several deleted scenes, audition footage of several cast members, and an alternate audio commentary track in which director Patrick Lussier, writer Joel Soisson, and makeup designer Gary Tunnicliffe discuss the production.

Well, I can say that when I say "Dracula 2000", I fell in love. The way it ended also made me hope for a sequel. This wasn't released until like three years later but it was made simultaneously with "Dracula III: Legacy". Together they make the Dracula trilogy. However, I was disappointed in this movie when they took the story in a whole new direction. It doesn't feature the original cast, a new person is used to play Dracula (which is briefly explained in the movie), no reference is made to the previous movie; leaving loose ends to what originally happened and with no explanation. Overall, the movie was enjoyable, but that's just because I am a HUGE vampire/Dracula freak. So, to sum it up, if your a fan of vampires and Dracula like me, check it out...if not, then you might want to rent...not actually buy.
What's great about it: Its a sequel to Dracula 2000, same director and producer
What's not so great: Different cast, different story, barely any reference to previous movie
I would recommend this to a friend!
