Ten Movie Vampires that Sucked!!!

7. Dracula

gerryPlayed by Gerard Butler From Dracula 2000 (2000)

Before Gerry Butler was cool, he did this.

Master of horror Wes Craven served up this timid slice of blood-sucking horror as producer back in 2000 (see what they did there). Craven also directed the equally risible Vampire in Brooklyn (which we€™ll get to later) so while he may be a master of horror, master of vampires he definitely ain€™t. Dracula 2000 actually boasts a decent cast, featuring a collective who€™s who of TV veterans. Omar Epps (House), Danny Masterson (That 70's Show), the brilliant Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Jeri Ryan (Voyager) and Jennifer Esposito (from everything) are all along for the ride with Johnny Lee Miller & Christopher Plummer as they tangle with a pre-300 Butler in a movie that should have been so much better. Falling into the Interview with the Vampire trap of having a moody vampire who looks like he€™s straight off the catwalk rather than straight out the coffin, Dracula 2000, and Butler, fail for presenting a Dracula who gives the impression he€™d be more at home wearing a beret, reading poetry in Starbucks than out slaughtering people and feasting on their blood. In spite of it€™s supposed re-imagining and updating of the classic story, Dracula 2000 ultimately doesn€™t offer up anything new and feels distinctly run-of-the-mill.
