Dracula In Space Film Review

For some reason film makers seem to think that sending a slasher on in this case a classic horror villain into space is a good idea and yet time and time again it never is. As now we have another horror villain that's left earth for space with this one being more of a retelling of the book then being a straight up sequel to any of the films but it is still weird that the makers of this film thought that it was a really good idea for this character to go into space and so then join me as I review the film that might very well be the most boring film of 2026 with the film in question being called simply "Dracula In Space" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when the crew of the space ship Demeter get a told that they have to haul the cargo from a seemingly abandoned ship the crew discover that they might have brought aboard something far more deadly then what they could have ever hoped for. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that good as the films plot isn't that creative at all with it coming across as knock off of the plot of Alien only without the charm and cleverness to pull it off this wouldn't be a bad thing however if the plot of the film at least advanced alot of the time and yet for one reason of another the makers of this film instead chose to make this film a slow burner film which means that the films dreadful plot goes for large portions of it's already small running time with nothing happening to advance the plot at all now to be fair having a slow burn plot is something that could work if the film in question really had a plot that demands it really be one yet here the plot of the film and the films title demand that the films plot be one that really moves at a quicker pace as given the title of the film you'd really expect the film to have a plot that's snappy and that's fun to watch and yet this film has a plot that's neither of those things with the plot of this film not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Ash Grey Blonde star and The Bucket star Charlotte Reidie as Captain Harker and this films producer and Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood And Honey 2 star Louisa Warren as Captain Reyes. Also starring in this film is Bikini Shark star Jessie Vinning as Stoker , Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood And Honey 2 star Marcus Massey as Dracula , Paul Leon as Morris , Ashley O'Brien as Seward and Kamahri May as Juno.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that good. With the best word that could be used to describe this films acting being wooden as that's exactly what it is alot of the time it's wooden with all of the films actors turning in these wooden and bland performances with it being made clear as day that this films director Gregory William Randolph Jr. had no idea of how to direct his actors however o be fair to him he has only made two other films before this one with him mostly making short films but he does have to learn how to talk to his actors as that's how you get good performances out of them and if your not going to do that then you better cast some amazing actors in your project something which given the fact that this film was a small budgeted British independent film he was never ever going to do and as a result the films acting does suffer quite alot with the best actor in the whole entire film being Marcus Massey as Dracula as he really comes across as the only one that's actually trying to turn in a good performance and while his performance in the film isn't amazing it's alot better then the performances from the rest of this films actors as they all really feel like that there phoning in their performances with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

To say that this films characters are bland and forgettable characters would be a huge understatement as that's exactly what they are. As there's nothing to these characters that makes them interesting characters with all having the same bland character type and look fair enough these films are made cheaply and quickly but you still have to take the time to give us some good characters that we want to see make it to the end of the film and yet in this film what we get is characters that we feel nothing for as the film doesn't give us a reason to care for any of them with alot of them quite literally being characters that are knocked off from other forms of Dracula media with a few of them baring the same name of others that are heavily associated with Dracula which is fair enough but when you give us characters that just remind us of other better characters then you owe it to your characters to make them good and to make them memorable and yet here in this film despite the fact that there's already an android character in the film all of the characters act like there robots with Captain Harker being the stereotypical stoic leader of the group who wouldn't know what a smile is if it came up and hit her in the face Reyes being a useless character who is only there for eye candy and that's really it with the rest of the films characters including Dracula being just as boring and as bland as the rest of the films characters as they do feel like the kind of characters that you'll find in the first draft of a script and while this film might have only had one draft the makers of this film should have spent the extra money and spent the extra time on a re-write as that would then allow them to fix the films characters and to make them better then what they are in this film.

Look to be fair to this film the very idea of doing a Dracula movie in space is one that's a very good idea. Yet it's also one that could go very badly wrong if it's not handled right and that's exactly what happens here in this film as the makers of this film were more bothered by giving us references to Dracula then the were in giving us a fun film say what you will about Jason X but then one thing that you can't say about that film is that it's boring as there's always something happening be it a cool kill or the plot is being moved forward in a somewhat creative way yet here in this film tho none of that happens with the film really taking it's time in letting things happen whilst this is of course done to build up tension which is fair enough as that it something that you do need in a Dracula story but here the film isn't long enough and therefor the film really does need to get to the good stuff alot quicker as or else the audience is going to fall asleep watching the film as there's quite large portions of the film where nothing is happening due to the fact that were getting countless scenes of the characters just sitting and talking which is fair enough as they have to get across plot information but here it comes at the expense of having a fun and entertaining film where as with Jason X that film knew right away that it was going to be a dumb fun filled slasher film and wasn't afraid to be anything more then that and yet given the fact that this film is titled "Dracula In Space" which is something that does make you think that your going to be getting a dumb film the film oddly enough tries to be something that it's not as this isn't a film that demands that you take it seriously this is instead a film that you should laugh at how bad it is and how dumb it is.

Look fair point this film was made very cheaply but for some odd reason this film looks like that it was filmed in the house of one of the producers. Yet the film is meant to take place on a space ship in outer space yet we don't actually get to see outer space in this film barring for a few very badly done FX shots which the film does take great pride in showing us with this being something that does make the film feel alot more smaller as this ship is meant to be huge and yet we don't get to see much of it rather we just get to see a few rooms and few corridors and that's really it which is something that makes you wonder why the makers of this film chose to make this film as they quite clearly didn't have the finds to make it as good as they could have done as they could have had some steam coming out of some pipes and some pipes up on the wall to make it look like that we're in the engine room or for when we are the main eating quarters they could have had some lights on and have some tables in the background just anything to give that set more life and make the the world of this film feel more real and yet because of the fact that the film has some VFX shots which they take great pride in showing us it means that the rest of the film gets to look fan made at best and the effects get to loon decent by comparison with the film having some admittedly cool looking effects for when Dracula is defeated at the end of the film but that doesn't make up for the fact that the rest of the film just looks bland and while yes the makers of this film were working well within there means which is fair enough when you do a film that's set in space the audience expects to see something new crew and creative and yet all we got for this sip was something that's bland and forgettable.

To give this film some form of credit it does do something interesting by having Dracula basically invade the dreams of the characters. With this being done as a way to convince them to join him or to let him bite them which is a cool idea and again to the films credit the film does go as far as they could have done with it given the fact that they didn't have a bug budget to work with in the first place with the only thing that lets that idea down being the fact that nothing very rarely if ever comes of it as while yes we do get some kills out of it they happen very rarely with us not really getting to see how these visions effect the crew mentally which is something that would have been very interesting to see and it would have given us a new and interesting angle as well and yet the makers of this film don't do that which makes would could have been a really cool addition to the film as now we would have the fact that the crew is being made more and more mentally unstable as the film goes on which is something that would have been interesting to see as we don't get to see that happen in a lot of Dracula media and yet because of the act that this film is being ore focused on knocking off Alien then it is in being a good Dracula story that has some really cool things in it it does mean that the only genuinely good idea that the film has feels underused alot of the time as it would have been cool to see Dracula use that skill to get the upper hand on the crew just by planting moments of doubt which yes would have been a small thing but it still would have something that would have helped to make this really bland and boring film stand out from all of the other Dracula films out there.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty one minuets and twenty three seconds. Which for any other horror film would have been a decent running time for the film to have and yet this film is slow burner which is something that doesn't really work with the fact that the film has a really short running time and yet the film spends so much time in just having the characters explore the ship in the first place and not enough time in it's plot with the film not even having enough plot to cover that amount of running time as by all rights the film only has enough plot to cover about forty five minuets and that's really it and yet the makers of the film have lots of scenes that are just filler scenes as a way to get the film up to feature length with alot of those scenes being just way to expand something that usually would have taken a few seconds to do with the film not even using it's running time all that wisely as the film doesn't take the time to fully it's plot which fair enough it might not have to do as this film is telling a really simple story and doesn't need to be that well developed as a result of it as the film spends far to much time in setting up the plot then it does in giving us scenes that actually develop it when it would have made more sense for this film to spend alot more time in giving the film some kind of plot development instead of just having things happening for the sake of it with the film not even taking the time to give the characters any kind of character development as we get to find nothing about any of this films characters heck we don't even get to find the first names of any of the films characters as that's how underdeveloped that they all are as we get to find out nothing about what it is that makes these characters tick in the first place but I really will admit that this film really does have some really bad pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does mean that I gave to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad. With alot of the films kills being lame at best and at worst being off screen with the film not really putting alot of thought and effort into it's kills with it feeling like that the makers of his film didn't put that much thought and effort into the films kills as they all feel just lame and while yes granted there's only so much that you can do with Dracula as the main villain as there are only so many that you can see him biting someone before it starts to get dull and boring and to be fair this film doesn't really show him biting someone all that often as alot of the time he just basically takes over them which is something that they don't explain with the film not really having a kill that you could say is the best kill in the film as all of the films kills are just bland and forgettable as they have nothing about them that makes standout as they all just feel bland and generic like they could have been kills that were in other films as there's nothing that makes them feel unique to this film with the film not even taking advantage of the fact that there in space or the fact that they have Dracula be the main villain of the film and yet if the film did any of that then we would have gotten some really good kills in it and yet for one reason or another the makers of the film didn't bother to give us some good kills in it with all of the films kills being lame with the same thing even being true for Dracula's death which is the only semi-decent death in the whole entire film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall no matter how bad Minnie's Massacre ends up being it won't be as bad as this film is as this film isn't even a film that's so bad that it's good as it's just painfully bad film that is more then boring to watch as it's also a chore to watch and a chore to get through as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review which really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old core of exactly a 0 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Dracula: A Love Tale Film Review

When people talk about horror icons they usually talk about either Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers to name but a few. However there is true titan of terror that really does stand above them all that being Dracula and well there's new a film out featuring this truly really iconic character and I thought that i'd give it a shot and talk to you all about it and so then join me as I review the film that is basically a better version of Dracula Untold with the film in question being called simply just "Dracula: A Love Tale" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a string of women start turning up with bite marks on their necks a Priest and a few others discover something far more deadly is going on and must race against time to stop it before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as while yes this films plot is the typical Dracula plot here it's done with so much style and flair that it does make the plot of the film seem oddly more gloomy and dark then what it already is with the plot of this film doing a good job of keeping what could be seen as being a very tired and worn out story seem fresh and new again and while last years Nosferatu remake did this kind plot alot more better as that films take on the story added alot of atmosphere to it which added to the overall creepiness of the film here this films take on the story makes it more gothic and something that a rebellious teen would like which is oddly fitting as the Universal Pictures take on the Dracula story was applauded for being a gothic story and therefor it does feel like that this film is taking more from that film interms of how it's telling plot but at the same time tho this films plot does feel a bit on the weak side of things which has the adverse effect of making the titular Dracula feel more like an afterthought in his own film with the ploy of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Caleb Landry Jones as Vlad / Dracula , Christoph Waltz as The Priest and Matilda De Angelis as Maria. Also starring in this film is Salomon Passariello as A Romanian Cavalryman , Zoë Bleu as Elisabeta / Mina , Ewens Abid as Jonathan Harker , Raphael Luce as A Clerk , Romain Levi as Captain Wernus , Guillaume De Tonquédec as Dumont , Bertrand-Xavier Corbi as Captain Targol , Janne Mattila as A Romanian soldier , Ivan Franek as Elisabets Capitain , Jassem Mougari as Mehmed II , Joonas Makkonen as A Romanian Soldier , Jaakko Hutchings as A Romanian Soldier , Nikita Makkojev as A Romanian Soldier , Haymon Maria Buttinger as The Cardinal , Liviu Bora as The Army Captain and Nicolas De Lavergne as Lieutnant Birthmark.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. As this film does have some pretty decent actors in it and therefor it does make alot of sense that the acting in this film would be pretty good with this being something that's even more shocking when you take into account the fact that alot of this films actors are really some very little known actors and therefor it would have been foolish to expect good or even great acting from them which is something that we get in this film and while the acting in this film could have been better in some respects Zoë Bleu makes for a passable at best Mina with her playing a more better version of her ancestor Elisabeta with this films best actor oddly enough not being Christoph Waltz as it very easily could have been but rather it's Caleb Landry Jones who oddly makes for a great Vlad and an even better Dracula because as Vlad you see the joy that the actor is having playing that ide of the character and yet the moment that he becomes Dracula whilst he still does maintain the charm of Vlad he adds an ice cold stare to the character that lets you know that something isn't right with this person the second that we see him on screen with the acting that's in this very film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the CGI for this film is the really true legends and the really greats that really are currently over at MPC. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as the film mainly uses CGI for basic background replacement and the odd creature and to enhance things that were already there on the day of filming and that's really it with that being the very reason to use CGI as it then blends in with the live action elements alot more easier and nine times out of ten goes unnoticed by alot of people and while there is a case for using CGI to create things that you couldn't possibly do in the real world like for example dinosaurs or aliens sadly alot of film studios use it to make things that could be created in the real world and when those films have bad effects in them they really do stand out due to how bad that they are where as here because of the fact that the film uses very minimal CGI effects there really isn't a bad looking effect in the whole film as alot of this films CGI is just enhancing what was already there on the day of filming and will therefor look ten times better then anything that your making from scratch as those effects when there done wrong look horrible and when there done right they will still age due to how fast the world of CGI evolves and changes where as this films effects will look timeless as the film mostly uses practical effects and only uses the smallest amount of CGI when it really needs to.

Much like with Dracula Untold this film puts alot of focus on the love life of Count Dracula which is oddly something that does work. As it's an aspect of the character that really hasn't been explored all that much in a live action film setting and while it could be argued on if the romance aspect of the film was done well or not as it is something that does forgotten about for large portions of the films running time what can't be argued is the impact that it has on the film as it goes a long way into making this films take on Dracula come across as being more of tragic figure and because of that it does also make us the audience want to care for him as we want to see him reunite with his one true love and get his happy ever after but because of the fact that he's an evil person that does mean that it does rightfully create mixed feelings for us the audience as while we do want to see him get his happy ever after due to all of the evil things that he's done and does in this film we also want to see him meet his end as well thus meaning that Dracula would never be able to reunite with the one that he truly loved and who truly loved him and while other Dracula based films have tackled the idea of him in being love much better again look at the remake of Nosferatu as a good example here because of it's more gothic look and approach to the story it does come across as being more tragic for the Dracula character as while other films take a more stylistic approach to this part of the character here the makers of the film actively go out of their way to make sure that we care for the character as they knew that we had to buy into the romance for the film to work and while the romance itself could have been done alot more better then what it already was you can tell that there was at the very least some amount of effort put into giving the film a decent romance.

While there are plenty of good things to be found in this film there are plenty of bad thinfs to be found in it as well like the fact that the film is a bit of mess as it has at least three plots going on all at once with there being the main plot with the priest then there's the plot with Mina falling in love with Dracula and then there's the plot with Jonathon interviewing Dracula. With that last plot being dropped for a large portion of the films running time so when it does get back to it we the audience have all but forgotten all about it and the other two plots have long gaps inbetween them so much so that again we the audience do forget what's last happened in them and where the characters are in those plots with this having the add of effect of making Dracula himself feel alot more like a side character in his movie as he's not the one that's driving the main plot of the film forward and infact he barely interacts with anyone in that plot until the films third act with it coming across that The Priest is meant to be the main character of the film which if that is the case then the very title of the film is a lie as it makes it look like that Dracula is the main character when the plot of the film would straight up suggest otherwise and fair enough Christoph Waltz is a very big named star and so of course you want to feature him more in the movie as that then justifies him being on the films poster but that shouldn't come at the expense of Dracula as he's the character that people will be flocking to this film to see and not some character that they haven't heard of before now and therefor it would have made more sense for Dracula to be the one that's being more proactive in all of the plots that he's in and not just the plot with Jonathon as that just makes him look like a side character in his own movie.

For whatever reason the makers of this film seem to think that the main plot with The Priest is a rally interesting plot as they keep on cutting back to every single chance that they get. When it really isn't as nothing all that interesting happens in that plot which makes you wonder why the makers of this film chose to focus alot of the films screen time on it when they could have had the main focus o the film be the romance subplot with Dracula and Mina as that's the more interesting plot as it gives us a chance to see the title character get alot of love and attention due to the fact that in the films main plot he's barely a factor in it and with the films romance subplot even tho it does cover alot of the same ground that Dracula Untold covered in that we see quite alot of the same scenes in both films only here it's done to actually make you care for the character and not done in an rather undercooked way with the only thing that lets the romance subplot down is the fact that none of the main actors have any chemistry which is something that they really have done as that would help to sell us the audience on the romance but because of the fact that neither of them have any kind of chemistry with each other which does make them come across as people who have just met each other the day before they started filming this film when if the makers of this film cast actors that had chemistry with each other it would have made the main romance alot more believable then what it actually is but to be fair to this film the romance is alot more better then the entire plot with The Priest as nothing that's interesting happens in that plot it all happens in the romance subplot of the film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly two hours and three minuets and seventeen seconds. Which to be fair to this film is a perfectly solid running time for this film with the film even having more then plot there to really cover that amount of running time however tho this film really doesn't use it's running tome all that wisely as while it's plot is a good plot it's still one that's not that well developed as the film does drop all three of plots for quite along period of time all for for no reason when that screen time could have been used to develop any of it's plots as they all do need developing to make them not only creepy but actually decent since as things stand all three of this films plots feel unfocused with the film struggling to find one main plot to focus on with this being something that results in a film that is unfocused at best and while this is something that doesn't really effect it's characters as all of it's characters do come across as being well developed with the best examples of this being both Dracula and Mina herself as both characters fall of to the dark side at different points in their lives where as Dracula had no one to pull him out and stop him from making the mistake that made him immortal Mina does in the form of her one true love Jonathon with Dracula having to come to terms with the fact that he will never see the woman that he loved ever again as to him she has now moved on to someone else and while the romance could have been alot more better there's no denying the fact that the characters are really well done but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. As this film whilst it does lack many actual scares what it does have going for it in the horror department is it's atmosphere as the film makes great use of it's gothic atmosphere all of which do combine into making the film come across alot more creepier then what it actually is and with the film even having some pretty impressive looking gore effects something which does add to the atmosphere of the film as having the blood red of the blood go against the snowy backdrop of the films third act does make the film not only all the more impressive but also more stunningly beautiful then what it already is the first place and while there are no scares in this film the closest we get to a blood bath in this film does happen during the films third act with that scene in all honesty being the best scene in the whole entire film as that's where we get to see Dracula be his true self and because of that we get to see some really good scenes with the thing that made them better is all of the build up that the film does as the makers of this film know when to build up tension and when to let scenes just play out normally and while we the audience don't get a chance to feel tense as the scenes that do build u tension aren't that good in the first place and do come across as being very generic you can tell that there was a genuine effort to create some genuine scares in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while right now this film is only out in France with no American release date set in stone yet this is a film that could do very well at the American box office due to it's more gothic take on the material but at the same time tho this film still isn't that good of a film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that re in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

The Last Voyage Of The Demeter Film Review

 

The Dracula character is a staple of not only horror but of pop culture with the character having appeared in over hundreds of films and TV adaptations over the decades. However there's one story that o me knowledge has never been told and well that all ends with the release of the film that i'm about tor review for all today and so then join me as I review the film that I is the second adaptation of the Dracula character in this year alone with the film in question being called simply just "The Last Voyage Of The Demeter" enjoy.

The plot of this film is the crew of a merchant ship find themselves carrying a monster and must try to kill it before they reach their destination of London. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good and was alot better then what I personally thought that it would be as I was expecting a really un-creepy and unimaginative plot but what I got was almost the complete opposite of that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Corey Hawkins as Clemens and Game Of Thrones star Aisling Franciosi as Anna. Also starring in this film is Game Of Thrones star Liam Cunningham as Captain Elliot , David Dastmalchian as Wojchek , Woody Norman as Toby , Jon Jon Briones as Joseph , Stefan Kapičić as Olgaren , Nikolai Nikolaeff as Petrofsky , Martin Furulund as Larsen , Chris Walley as Abrams , Nicolo Pasetti as Deputy Hirsch and Javier Botet as Dracula.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty alot better then what I thought that it would be. As I really had no idea what to expect from this film in any aspect but at the same time this films acting isn't as good as it perhaps could have been as we know that this films cast can turn in some really good performances and yet because of this films script not giving them anything to work with interms of what their respective characters personalities even are this films cast just can't turn in that good of a performance in this very film as this films script really just won't allow for it.

Doing the CGI for this film is Firebrand VFX , Moving Picture Company and RISE Visual Effects Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films CGI really being alot better then what it had any right to be as nobody was expecting this film to have good or even passable CGI init and so it was really shocking to me to find out that this film actually had some really good CGI in it.

This films co-screen writer Bragi Schut Jr. got the idea for this film after he visited someone who worked on the 1992 Dracula movie. Which was something that I really found interesting as if your going to take inspiration from anything then it might as well be something from the director of The Godfather and it really does help that this is a truly original story as we really haven't seen this part of the Dracula story played out before now which I do kind of understand why that's the case but at the same time given just how many stories have been told about Dracula in the past it was only about time that this one chapter from the original book found it's way on screen.

In what is a shocking move this film is the second Dracula based movie to be released this year after the hugely successful Renfield. With this film sadly being not as fun as that film which is a shame as there is alot of potential for this film to be just as fun and just as crazy and insane as that film was just with this films setting but for some reason the makers of this film chose to make this film a super serious film which isn't a bad idea but the idea behind this film is kind of goofy in the first place and so it would have helped the film out quite alot if they leaned into it's goofiness and just go all out with how insane this film could be and should have been. 

As I said this film is based of off the chapter "The Captain's Log" from the 1897 novel by Dracula by Bram Stoker. While i've never and will never read the original novel I have to admit that the idea of turning just one early part of the book into a film to seems like a bad idea as we already know just what happens to these characters given that there not in the rest of the novel and so all tension , shock and surprise is now lost and so all we the audience are now left doing is waiting for the characters that we know or a fact will die eventually meet there fate and while that can be fun in some films in this film it's just not that fun to see play out in this film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty one minuets and forty two seconds. Which is a bit on the long side for this film as this film really doesn't need to be that as long as the film really doesn't have alot their interms of either plot and story to cover that large amount of running time an while we're not left watching the characters just go about their day to day lives what we are left with is a bunch of mostly unlikable characters just talking and there's only so long that you can sit through that before it gets boring which in this film happens very quickly and it happens very often but I will admit that this film does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then since this is a vampire film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film were in all honesty not that creative. However what this film lacks in creative it kills it more then makes up for by having alot of genuine creepy scares in this film with one of the most creepiest kills in the whole entire happening to the most innocent person in this film which was just so cool to see in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this film wasn't as fun as Renfield was it was still a really enjoyable film with this film being alot more enjoyable then what I thought that it would be as when it gets going it is a really good and enjoyable film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got ll of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Image actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
