10 Movie Posters That Lied To Your Face

2. Dracula 3000

X Men The Last Stand
Lions Gate Entertainment

Dracula 2000 is an edgy and altogether awful 00’s revamp of Bram Stoker’s classic tale. So why anyone would want to homage to it by creating a film called Dracula 3000 is beyond comprehension. At least it’s faithful in that, like Dracula 2000, there are also almost zero redeemable qualities in its runtime.

Set aboard a spaceship one thousand years in the future, cyborg Aurora and vampire-slayer descendant Abraham Van Helsing must fight off Count Orlock and stop him from getting to Earth.

The vampires of the film look exactly like the most low-budget expectation of a vampire as possible: red contacts, fake fangs popped in over the teeth, impractical collars. So what the heck is that on the poster?

Clearly trying to evoke the futuristic feel and going way too far with it, it badly misrepresents the film and promises a lot more than it can deliver. Some sort of cyborg-vampire hybrid would’ve actually given this flick something interesting and it definitely gets the mind turning over way more than the movie deserves.

As it stands, the vampires are boring which is at least perfectly in tune with the story, directing, casting and everything else. But hey, at least it’s got that crazy poster.
