Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: When insects are the best thing in your movie, it's probably time to retire.
Rotten: 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.
Rotten: Argento ... brings enough moments of kinky madness to his not-great "Dracula" to indicate there may yet be greatness lurking within him. Here's hoping.
Rotten: Utterly lacking in imagination or suspense, this inane effort is strictly for hardcore Argento cultists.

Profondo Argento - DRAC MANTIS!! Incredible!
You gotta see it to believe it! Mondo Madness at its Best! No wussy twinkling vamps here. If you are sick of the designer vampire garbage on the CW and the unbearable Twilight flicks, check out this ultra violent, bloody, Hammer style throwback with crazy touches of Argento's wild style, incoherence & illogical insanity ... always a plus if you are a fan of Italian and Euro horror! Thats the charm and brilliance of these films if you have a taste for mondo madness and wacky world cinema! Best of all Argento gives you plenty of blood, gore, nudity, decapitations and yes ... A Dracula that turns in to a Giant Killer Praying Mantis. Asia Argento and Rutger Hauer performances are ham and cheese ... but thats whats fun about italo Spaghetti Splatter flicks. a mash up of actors from all over Europe. thomas Kretschmann does ok as Drac ... but is no Christopher Lee. Neither was Gary Oldman. Would rather have seen practical FX instead of CGI. in the end, You will savor some tasty lady vamps , cheesy performances, and the gory ,tomatoe blood saucy bits Most of all ... you will never look the same way at a Praying Mantis again after seeing Argento's Drac. Bravo Dario!
Ehhhh...
Yeah I know its supposed to be forbidden on here to write something where you don't either praise the movie or tear it to pieces, especially from some one like Argento. But while there were major changes to the traditional story that I did disliked there plenty of other stuff in her I thoguth was pretty cool. Those cool ones being attempting to connect Dracula's backstory to the original Vlad Thepes Dracula and his reason for Mina being her resemblance to his lost love. Finally due to this being a post Stendal Syndrome Argento most of this movie's running time is made up of nudity, blood and over the top CGI ala 3D.
Oh, Lord . . .
At first, I thought it would be interesting as a salute to Dracula movies of the 40's and 50's. But . . . no . . . it's just not very good. The computer generated effects are annoying and badly done not to mention the writing, directing, and acting.
