10 Terrible Movies With Awesome Endings

It's always a bad sign when a movie plasters the name of someone tangentially associated with it all over the marketing.

And so, when Dracula 2000 billed itself with executive producer Wes Craven's name as a prefix, it felt like a calculated admission that the film couldn't rest on its own merits.

And indeed, Dracula 2000 sucks - an aggressively early-2000s riff on Dracula which, with its edgy nu metal soundtrack and painfully dated wardrobe choices, is a comically stodgy product of its era.

It is, for 90% of its runtime, a thoroughly uninteresting reimagining of Dracula lore, until it finally trips and stumbles over its one truly great idea in a closing scene.

Here, it's revealed that Dracula (Gerard Butler) is actually Judas Iscariot, who was cursed by God to live forever as a vampire due to his betrayal of Jesus Christ.

It's one of those revelations that genuinely forces viewers to reconsider everything they've just seen, and though Dracula 2000 is still a fundamentally bad movie, its final rug pull does provide some wildly unexpected food for thought.
