I almost want to apologize to last week's Movie. It could have been worse.
Let's see what this Film with the same name does worse.
What is going on?
Well, in classic Tell, Don't Show, we learn that Dracula (usually spelled as 'Drakula' in the Subtitles and Captions) is a) Real, b) a Cult Leader and c) behind a series of murders.
Despite how serious and grounded the Film tries to be, this is Dracula/Drakula.
The Film is basically these sections mixed up and drawn out...
Our Heroes sit around and discuss the secret codes/cyphers
A random Vampire lunges at, bites and drains someone for about 5 minutes.
Random shots of Paris.
People talking about nothing.
At least they use CG and real (fake) blood effects.
As a bonus, our Cast appears to speak English as their 2nd language- at best- so the Dialog sounds even less lifelike than it should.
Granted- I'd sound terrible acting in French...so I wouldn't do it (either thing)
Not David Duchovny agrees to take out Heroes to Transylvania for $10,000 to find Drac/Drak.
When they go to his home territory, will things go well?
I mean, he's been killing them in Paris, so...no.
Oy vey! This one is slow. This one is dull.
I think they wanted it to seem 'gritty and realistic.' It is just plain dull.
Again- the Acting and Dialog aren't great. I don't 100% blame the Actors. The Writer is not helping here either.
I don't like to be the 'f**k this Movie' guy- honestly.
That said, this one is so boring, so drawn out and just plain pointless.

Plus, this is the Title...so yeah, 'f**k this Movie.'
A Film by a man with a very prolific Filmography. That said, it was as an Assistant Cameraman and not a Director...which shows.
