Not Bram Stokers

Rating: 1/10 (10 April 2018)

Where to start? The plot does follow similarly to the book, however, none of the characters are like that that Bram Stoker tried to create. Van Helsing although a great casting of Anthony Hopkins and if ever remade should definitely be considered again for the role. Was quite simply nothing how the book portrayed him. Mina?! Oh dear, oh dear! She was never in love with this monkey bat beast and was forced to drink Draculas Blood, she played a massive role in the book and really was the Heroine. None of the other characters were built upon so no emotional investment could be made into them. Dracula appeared very little I the Literature Classic and instead characters were developed instead. It's an absolute crying shame that the 2hrs 17mins weren't used better.
If any book and film needs a remake it's this. If only to do Bram Stokers work more justice it deserved.
