Why?.......2007-02-03

I really am leery of sequels, and this is the third installment of the dracula 2000 series. First of all, Dracula (Rutger Hauer) wasn't all that strong a character and it doens't really explain why they have changed his face for the third time. The one performance that I thought I liked was Scott Jason Lee and the ending. Don't expect alot from this, its only entertainment..But, if you are anything like me, I have the three installments....Still like the first the best...and again with the ending, will there be a forth?

entertaining follow-up.......2006-12-13

More vampire mayhem from the folks who brought you Dracula 2000. Sequels often pale when compared to the first film, but 2 and 3 have their moments. I like them. Many of the ideas and characters are enjoyable. Could have been a little better. Could have been a lot worse. Pretty darn impressive for a direct to video sequel. Ultimatley it's a good time. Part 3 is a fine vampire movie worth watching - and owning.

toothless.......2006-04-09

This was with out a doubt, the worst cheese flick I've ever seen.
I bought this video for the actors, but even Jason London and Jason scott, couldn't save this film. These dracula films keep changing the rules for what it takes to kill a vampire.
Jason scott lee, never recieved the reconition he deserves for his acting abilities. Therefore, he has settle for what ever films he can get. The film makers gave the impression Romania, had become a bleak and dismal emptiness, utterly wretched and unhappy place, nothing more then a desolate place for vampires on the loose. This film went from my dvd player into the garbage can.

Yet Another Vampire Film with Lackluster Direction.......2006-03-08

First, let me give you warning: `Dracula III: Legacy' from Dimension Films picks up the thread of `Dracula II' at the time several years after the film had ended. Without knowledge about the "second" Dracula film, you find it hard to follow some part of the story of the third, in which we meet again the vampire hunter Father Vincent Uffizi (Jason Scott Lee) and his wise-cracking partner Luke (Jason London).

Not much is going to happen in `Dracula III: Legacy' except that Uffizi leaves the Church (and Cardinal played by cameo Roy Scheider), and that Luke searches his love Elizabeth (Diane Neal) whom Dracula abducted years ago. They fly to Romania, where there is a civil war going on (really?), and the two hunters meet a TV reporter Julia (Alexandra Westcourt) among the dead - no, undead bodies of the local people.

I could not understand how and why very well, but somehow they meet the rebels who might or might not be helping them, and Dracula's cohorts who are working for the evil Count to provide the blood, kidnapping the villagers.

Director is again Patrick Lussier, who uses the limited locations cleverly, but as shown in his previously released four pictures (all occult thrillers from Dimension Films), he does not seem to completely trust the good ideas in his film, and instead relied too much on fast editing and murky photography. In fact, all of his films including `Dracula III: Legacy' make me think that there is a good film somewhere deep inside of them, but before they are fully used, the film goes back to the familiar fight scenes in which the hunters wield sickle, and white-faced vampires attack with teeth.

Interestingly Rutger Hauer, who plays Dracula here, had played the vampire lord in 1992 film `Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and this fact tells you how some actors are easily typecast in the movie. Hauer with exaggerated mannerisms does his best, but his Count is nothing impressive. Strangely, it seems to me that he has not been allowed to show considerable charisma of his own for these ten years or more, that which easily matches Christopher Lee or Frank Langella. As to Jason Scott Lee as once-bitten vampire slayer, what can I say except this -- Please don't disappoint me again. In fact, the sidekick by Jason London is more convincing as a character.

But I should not blame the director and actors. According to IMDb, the film company decided to split the original story into two parts while shooting, and made two `Dracula' films - `II' and `III.' If this is true, they should not be faulted for the thin content and lackluster direction.
