There are no obvious signs of incompetence, and it's even a little stylish in places. Mary hasn't seen Dad in years and doesn't know about his fondness for vampires, but she's been having dreams about Dracula lately and is mighty freaked out by them. Unfortunately, having Dracula's blood running through his veins has resulted in his daughter having a psychic connection to the blood-sucker. And now Dracula believes it is his destiny to hook up with Mary. Strip away the Dracula plot, and this is essentially just a stupid slasher movie.
Characters walk into dark rooms alone, and no one ever behaves rationally or logically.
Lussier has fun making things happen suddenly, forcing us to jump when the film doesn't really deserve that kind of reaction. If you're not frightened by the fact that someone actually thought this was a good idea for the movie, then you're impervious to horror.
