In London, a gang of thieves breaks a sophisticated security system of the antique store of the dealer Abraham Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer). They get into a chamber, expecting to find gold and other valuables objects inside. Instead, they find a sealed silver coffin, surrounded and protected by skulls, crosses and other amulets. The decide to steal the coffin, expecting to find a treasure inside. Indeed, they find Dracula and all of them are killed by him, causing a plane crash close to New Orleans. Van Helsing flies to that city to protect his daughter Mary (Justine Waddell), who lives there, from Dracula. Simon Sheppard (Jonny Lee Miller), his protégé, follows him until New Orleans, where they fight against Dracula. The first time I watched this movie, I did not like it, because of the idea of Dracula being Judas Iscariot. Today I saw this film again to follow its sequel (`Dracula II: Ascension'). Funny, since now I really liked the story, a modern and very original version of Dracula. My vote is eight.
