Man!
Everytime I turn around, some Anne Rice or Bram Stroker has to change the way we view a vampire - why? I'm asking you - WHY? I believe in the old "Salem's Lot" type of Vampire. You know the type...Scared of the sun, afraid of crosses, gives you the chills when around - stuff like that. Nowadays you have Vampires screwing humans, walking around at dusk (even at times in direct sunlight), making them have feelings and are talking like Romeo would do to Juliet - I mean C'MON!!! I don't understand that type of logic. They have them looking 99% human (except for their eyes and teeth - which by the way, in many movies these "New" Vampires are able to change their eye color and make their fangs disapear on command - please).
I know vampires make a great monster. I understand they sell books and make people money. But to change everything and try to make them look cool? They don't mess with Frankenstein - he has always remained the same. You never see Frankenstein all of a sudden get romantic, start looking 99% human or stuff like that! You know why? Doing so would take away from the history or the image the original was intended for. So why do this to Dracula? This movie is the typical of how some "execs" decide to change or bend a few things to make their monster even better.
Nothing seems to stay the same anymore. I guess change sells. That's a shame. Heck, now Batman has had like four different guys play him. Bruce Wayne is Batman and nobody else will be for me. The old vampire lore works just like that for me. Don't try to break new ground. It's silly. I'm ashamed to have spent US Currency to obtain the right to view this garbage. If you like this kind of gay portrayal of a hollywood-ish vampire, then you may just like this. I don't even want to get into what this movie was like or the many flaws - I only have a 1,000 word limit!
Peace
