Such an average movie. Like... I don't even know what to say about it. I mean the weather effects were kinda cool?
Story wasn't really there, and the monster was never really well-defined nor was it scare or cool. It's just there.
I was questioning who directed this move (The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Troll Hunter) and who wrote it (Bullet Train). Are these the same people? Because I enjoyed their previous work, but I am left baffled by this uninspired, painfully average flick. Demeter's fateful journey to England is one of my favorite parts of Dracula: the limited set, the foreboding storm, the crew that is picked off one by one by an invisible force. This movie has no idea what makes horror effective beyond cheap jump scares. What makes Dracula so much more effective, is that the monster is not a generic creature, but a supernatural man of ancient power, mystery, intelligence, and menace. All of that is lacking in the movie. The characters are also not very compelling, and have very limited backstory of no impact. I feel like everyone involved was assigned homework they didn't feel like doing, so they slapped together his mediocre piece. Too bad because I had high hopes, considering my love for the original material. Also, the dog dies, and I don't like it .
