Great Gertie's Nightgown, Eric Roberts is at it again. He supposedly plays Count Dracula who hosts some type of reality television series known as Halloween Hell. It seems (for whatever reason) some teens found a doll carved out of lava straight from hell, were all flayed by a demon (in some form or fashion), and then this turd was birthed.
Fast forward to the present and it seems someone(?) has now given this premise a green light, so it can be produced as reality television. The winner, i.e. the survivor(s) of the night will claim/split a $100,000 prize. I found it more than exasperating that when the murders of these contestants aired over television, there was absolutely NO reaction by the public--no cops, no calls to the "television" studio, no nothing. The six brain-dead goobers cast as the participants lacked an opposable thumb between them. There were no characters, only caricatures.
Eric Roberts should be ashamed of himself. I do not expect him to consistently appear in top-notch Hollywood films, but even this is a step WAY down from what he usually is in. His attempt, albeit a pitiful one, at playing Dracula has him constantly mugging for the camera and adding comments, e.g. "Wow," "That's gotta hurt," and "That's awful." No, Eric, the only thing awful in this movie was you. He has the screen presence of a turnip.
Rated "R" and not recommended.
