Watching quite possibly the most racist Sci Fi movie I've ever seen



INCOMING TRANSMISSION ......Source: Intergalactic Trash Cinema Review Board.......Subject: "Dracula 3000" ........Composition: 40% Dracula film --30% Ultra-Low Budget Sci-Fi -- 30% 1990's Urban/Gangsta .............MESSAGE BODY: Recommend audience avoid. Mildly inventive direction unable to compensate for poor screenplay and ludicrous scenarios. Fun factor also found unacceptable in test audience: "Flak Magnet & WTF Junction." Project only marginally acceptable as unintentional comedy. Highlight 39min mark: "Coolio" monologue as Renfield, although hilarious, unable to merit recommendation of time waste. 1.5 star equivalent rating...........END TRANSMISSION



They took the plot of The Event Horizon, then they took some very hard drugs, and they rewrote it in their own words. Adding a lot of shockingly racist stereotypes, that made the black characters into a couple of crude, dumb oafs (with references made to their race being the cause of it). It was just bad in all ways. Plastic Halloween decorations being passed off as human remains...films haven't gotten away with that since the 70s. It wasn't even funny-bad, it was just horrible.

Still making my way through it, like watching a train wreck or one of the insipid gender wars threads

I need drugs!!!! or booze or something! At least its takes my mind off the hip surgery pain, and thats quite alot!
