Review Summary
A group of thieves uncover Dracula's tomb and accidently set him free. An antiques dealer now must protect a woman whom Dracula wants to have.
Jack Bauer, Resident Scholar

In this movie, Dracula is being kept under the toughest security by Van Helsing, who is using Dracula's blood, filtered through leeches, to stay alive until he finds out what can kill Dracula, since Dracula doesn't die by the normal means of killing vampires. For a cover, Van Helsing runs an antiques store in London, since it is now the year 2000... that is, until someone who works for Van Helsing decides, unwittingly, that whatever Van Helsing's providing so much security for has to be worth something and brings in some high-tech friends to steal the "treasure". Van Helsing has a daughter named Mary, who lives in New Orleans, knowing nothing of her father's secret. Dracula wants her and will stop at nothing to get her to love him. When Dracula goes after Mary, she must find out who he is and what can kill him.
kate, Resident Scholar
