In the mountains in Colorado a swat-like team breaks into the lair of a vampire and kills her. Of course, their goal is to track down the "Osama Bin Laden" of vampires, Dracula. Then it's off to a secluded are in France where team leader Ronnie Van Helsing is leading the commandos. They've discovered that Dracula is living in an optically hidden castle. In fact, when the vicious guard dogs come out to attack them they're not dogs at all but creations made from blood. As is the castle. Ronnie and her team eventually capture Dracula and keep him prisoner in a special container surrounded by holy water. But when two fallen angels return to Earth and start creating more havoc than the vampire ever could, Ronnie makes a deal with the devil and lets her most hated opponent free to fight them. In fact, all vampires are descended from these hideous creatures.
There's some spectacular situations and fights that can only be realized in comic-book format, especially when Dallas is taken over by the ex-Angels. This is one of the coolest interpretations of Dracula, making him a force of nature and a formidable creature. Highly recommended, especially if you're sick of wimpy love sick vampires.
