The end credits are not really shining a light on that one - even if the estate of Stoker had no involvement here, it doesn't mean he might not find it at least appealing or interesting what is being done here. On the other hand, fans either go with the flow or may be offended on how things are depicted here.
And a Netflix show recently did quite an awesome job with a similar "bloody" theme, but more church related. Won't spoil the name of the show just in case, but those who have seen or are interested, Mike Flanagan was responsible for it.
But back to this, that takes many myths and just smashes them - there is a lot of things that just don't work. There are other things that are not even being tried ... but that is easier said than done, when you fight for your life or when you just sit in a cinema seat and "complain" about what the movie or the characters could have done differently.
One thing that you could blame the movie doing, is how it conveniently bleeds some out and kind of lets our main character do their thing ... on the other hand, we wouldn't be having much of a movie, if that weren't the case, now would we?
