Horror fans will enjoy our review of Dracula II: Ascension (2003), where we cover its story, scares, and how it ranks among modern horror classics.

Dracula 2: Ascension is the sequel to Dracula 2000. Dracula 2 itself has several main characters. They include a half vampire priest, cripple professor, four college students, and of course Dracula. The actor portraying Dracula is a different person, this time; he’s blond! Dracula says this is to reinvent himself and keep himself safe from his enemies. These college students work at a morgue, and a burnt body comes into the hands of one of the students. Upon further inspection of the corpse, they find several unusual properties including pro-tractable fangs that are vampire-like. Dracula 2: Ascension is not well known because the story line is not that great and the special effects are good but not exceptional. I liked Dracula 2 and would suggest the movie if it were not the sequel to the better Dracula 2000.
