“Dracula: The Original Living Vampire” (*1/2 out of four) was an anemic horror thriller about detective Amelia Van Helsing (Christine Prouty) investigating a series of increasingly grisly murders and all clues point to the powerful Count Dracula (Jake Herbert) but she soon finds that this investigation puts her and her dying father (Michael Ironside) in the crossfire. By the standards of the library of “Dracula” films, this one sucks- with poor pacing and stuffy and dull characters. Rabid horror fans would best watch the “Dracula” films from the 1940’s- they have a lot more life and scares than this unoriginal timewaster.
