This movie got undeservedly a lot of bad review's,it really is by no means a bad film.
The character of Dracula is a little over the top and exaggerated but is well played,Dracula is show has a bloodthirsty sadist that is very brutal in his methods lacking some of the finesse of previous films,but by no means is that a bad thing since it adds a lot of intensity to the character.
The scenarios are dark,gritty and quite enjoyable to look featuring some old European aesthetics (very romanticized and morbid but beautiful).
The girl who plays Elizabeth played her role well and you could truly sense her terror of being maintained prisoner by Dracula. Her lover and the main lead played by Wes Ramsey lacked a bit in performance at times, the plot also making the character look unrealistically emotionally invested in the wrong events(Wanting to Fight his friend over unimportant silly comments but then not having much of a reaction hearing his lover got brutalised by Dracula.)Again the actresses performance however continued to be of high quality and greatly written.
There is nothing much to say about the rest of the characters,they are at large unimportant and the dialogues of such characters are poorly delivered.
The movie Starts at a slow pace and then quickly rants up Mid-Late Act making you Wonder what will happen to the faith of Bram and Elizabeth as the odds turn against their favor.
So to conclude it is not a perfect film but it is worth a watch if you are looking for a different take on the Dracula Mytho.
You won't regret it.
