Argento's Dracula 3D

[mdoc]

Well for those that were hoping for a return to form, abandon all hope. Argento's new Dracula flick screened at Cannes this weekend and it was universally panned.

Director Argento half-heartedly mixes schlocky 3D f/x with one-dimensional characters for a near-two-hour joke that ought to have been funnier.

It’s like he’s been hit on the head and forgot how to make movies.

the 3D serves mainly to make the whole sad, cadaverous enterprise more ludicrous.

There is no joy for me in ripping this film, but there is also no joy in watching it.

This is a bummer.

Still going to see it if it gets a cinema release in Belfast

Figured this would be a bomb with the first trailer. Still, will probably see it when/if the theatrical version makes it to Portland. Yea, I'm a sucker when it comes to Argento.

Yeah I didn't have much hope for this when I saw the trailer. I know the owl or whatever was not finished but when I saw the completed owl in the recently released trailer, it still looked shitty.

I'm starting to forget when Argento was considered ground breaking. His accumulated years being shitty have gone beyond the amount of years he was considered great. Too bad. Deep Red will always be a giallo classic for me
