Here is a film I will have to review without having finished. It began interesting enough, with fittingly moody music. However, once the entry credits rolled by and the story began, the film work was so jerky I had to soon turn it off as I have epilepsy and wanted to avoid seizure activity. What a shame the film makers shot themselves in the foot, but if you're seeking positive reviews you have to take audience comfort into consideration.

For a 2011 movie the graphics were complete ass and same with acting. I get it's a independent movie but it's like they didn't even try. Worst Dracula movie I've ever seen.

Keeping my expectations low, I was pleasantly surprised by this relatively obscure horror flick. Even though the budget is small, this director Ian Case made the best with the resources he did have. The film is full of hypnotic and disturbing visuals and sound making ominous ambiance. Dracula has a foreboding presence and looks like a taller, more menacing Glenn Danzig with wolverine sideburns and jet black hair. Dracula Lord Of The Damned has a unearthly quality and demonic feel to it that can make me overlook the film's limitations and shortcomings. Dracula Lord Of The Damned was made cheap and one could.easily tell that. The film is not however for all audiences with its ultra cheap presentation and somewhat sluggish pacing. The film is creepy and unusual and is truly a avant garde horror flick that is equally artistic and trashy. An interesting movie, but be warned this is for acquired tastes.

Being a fan of Dracula films, I first watched this from a purist's view and it took a while for me to accept that this is half animation/half live action. However, in rewatching this (and it is rewatchable) I have come to appreciate the artistry and poetic license taken with this retelling The writing is fresh, the acting is solid, and the approach is pure artistry. This is an elegant version of a time-worn tale and very much worth a watch.

"Canadian illustrator/animator/filmmaker Theodore Trout took seven years to craft this strange, eerie, and inspired adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale. In 1872, British solicitor Jonathan Harker (McPherson) travels to Transylvania to conduct business for the bizarre Count Dracula (Trout), a Medieval Warlord who rose from his death as a vampire and now believes himself to be the Savior of Men. He plans to share the gift of eternal life with the unsuspecting inhabitants of London. Leaving Harker to his fate at the hands of his harem (DeKorte, Chowns, Cawsey, Cookie-Bailey), Dracula arrives in England and decimates the population, including aristocrat Lucy Westwood (Brown), best friend of Harker's fiancée, Mina Murray (Lisman). Professor Van Helsing (Grimshaw) is brought in to help diagnose this mystery illness, but he can't save Lucy from Dracula's clutches, and must be destroyed by her own fiancé, Dr. John Seward (Case). When Harker escapes Dracula's Transylvanian fortress and returns to England, they are able to determine that Dracula is the master that bug-eating lunatic Renfield (Hewitt) has been babbling about. Aided by Seward's American friend Quincy Morris (Carnell), they attempt to track Dracula down, but he has already infected Mina with his unholy blood. Led by Van Helsing, who knows Dracula's true nature - he is the Anti-Christ - they use Mina's psychic link with him to pursue the vampire back to Transylvania and stop his true reign of terror over all humanity. The film is shot in the style of a silent film, even though it features sound, songs by Priestess, and a soundtrack by "Anton Phibes and Winslow Leech." Monochromatic, Trout has painstakingly infused each frame with artistic touches, and provided the illustrations for the title sequence. He also makes for an interesting, impressive Dracula. The cast is mostly competent, although the British accents come and go, and some are about as convincing as Keanu Reeves' in BRAM STOKER'S Dracula (1992). The inclusion of gore and nudity give it a bit of a Hammer Films vibe, at times, but for the most part, it tries to be fairly original. There are more nods to Max Shreck than Lugosi, Lee, or Oldman, and the insertion of End Times religious themes is an interesting twist on the story. Copies of the film on DVD-R are available at Trout's website, as well as Amazon.com. "Dracula" being one of my all-time favorite stories, yet one of the most frequently adapted to film, it's sometimes hard to find a new version that isn't a rehash of everything that came before, a re-imaging that's now incomprehensible and unrecognizable as "Dracula," or worse, just boring and redundant. Trout and company have brought some interesting touches to the tale, although some of the animation is a bit primitive and seemingly out of place, at times. Mostly, though, it works." --Dan Cziraky

Kudos to Trout for creating this brilliant take on the Dracula tale. Fresh, original, wonderfully macabre. So glad I stumbled upon this.

This is one of the scariest movies ever. It is has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is scarier then The Exorcist. It is not a 7 that is underrating it. It is a 10. See this movie it is great.
