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.
There's great battling scene's with Father Uffizi battling two twin vampiress' attacking
him.
We spot a good setting with Luke and Elizabeth Blaine doing
research on a corpse of a vampire as well
as a good jumping scene when Elizabeth checks
out the vampires teeth and some fangs
form to poke her as she reacts well.
There's also a nice setting when some people place the
corpse into a tub of blood and later on a
nice rise attack by Dracula with the others panicking
and trying to stop him as well as a good
shot on Tanya being pulled in head first
into the tub byDracula himself.
There's a nice shot on an officer trembling
and holding a gun towards Father Uffizi and stuttering his words to not move as
well as a nice jumping action by a woman trying to attack him with great shots on their battles.
Terrific reactions on Dracula suffering in pain when chained up and a
light reflecting on him.
Many spooky scene's with Elizabeth approaching Dracula 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 Father Uffizi whipping
himself along with a flashback discussion
between him and Cardinal Siqueros.
We have perfect close up shots on both Lowell and Dracula eyes looking at
one another along with a shot on Lowell himself rolling his wheelchair close to a ledge.
A good angle shot on Lowell speaking evil like towards Elizabeth by a staircase.
Another great battle scene towards Dracula and Lowell in a hallway.
There are good moments with Father Uffizi and Dracula fighting one
another as well as Lee breaking open
window light to try and stop him.
Bottom line is that
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 (Luke) 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 (Lowell) is quite impressive as
a sick scientist in a weelchair as he
makes his voice sound so different and
pulls it off well. Shows
some nice suffocating reactions and
paranoid expressions too while being grabbed by the throat. shows nice aggressive
attitude during a battling sequence.
Stephen Billington (Dracula II) had the perfect
looks to play Dracula with his evil
features as well as his cold like voice
and nasty charm too.
Diane Neal (Elizabeth Blaine) does well with her
intimidations and emotions too proving to
be a worthy character actress. Reacts well when she is slowly
turning into a vampiress by acting weak.
John Light (Eric) had a perfect serious
attitude as a nasty one in this film
along with good still expressions too and
came across very unpleasant. Does well by in a certain scene grabbing one of his actors by the hair during a certain scene and
acting threatening and aggressive too.
Khary Payton (Kenny) does well with his wild
like attitude in the film coming across
very memorable for his part in it. There's a nice reaction on him after
he injects himself with a needle of
dracula's blood along with him menacingly
approaching another cast member and
grabs him by the throat.
Jason Scott Lee (Father Uffizi) 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
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!
