I didn't understand the ending.. (spoilers)


When we see Dracula in the modern age, who is that woman? And why is charles dance still there? I thought he and his ilk died. Was the girl a vampire too?

She was Mina (obviously a reincarnation of his wife).
In the story of Dracula, Mina was the woman Dracula was in love with.

reply

She was a goddess. Easily one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen. Why she is not listed in the credits is beyond me.

reply

She was listed in the credits... Sarah Gadon. It was the same actress who played his wife throughout the movie. Mina is a reincarnation of Mirena.

reply

Oh, and she was not a vampire.
I'm not sure though if Dracula ever turns Mina into one.

reply


In the original story, Dracula falls for Mina but Mina falls for Jonathan. Dracula dies alone.

Lose the Game!!!!!!!

The Charles Dance character is there, apparently, because he has some bigger game afoot.

I thought from what he told Dracula in the cave, that if Dracula became a permanent vampire, Dracula would have to take the Charles Dance character's place (in the cave, I assumed). Somehow, I thought that meant the original vampire would then become mortal again. Obviously, that didn't happen, or he wouldn't still be alive in modern times. Dracula is also obviously not stuck in the cave. Maybe nothing the vampire said was true.

Yeah, something tells me you probably can't trust anything vampires and demons might tell you. But it seems like cheating when it comes to making up a story. I would have enjoyed the ending more if it had made sense. It made me wonder if there was a sequel planned! Let the games begin! I wonder what Vlad was doing during those 600 years he had to wait for Mina?

reply

I have to admit the end annoyed me. Why can't they just wrap one story without leaving a teaser for a movie that probably won't get made?




reply

I read interview with a director, he said initially there was another ending. A studio (Universal) decided that Dracula will be part of Monsters Universe that why they shot this ending. So there are a big plans for Dracula to continue his story. There were a few articles and rumors about that.

reply

Maybe gonna wait for sequel probably set in 1890s meet van helsing.

reply

When Master gave Vlad his blood, he was telling him that the one who turned him trapped him there until he could find another. I was a little confused on this too because it did seem like Vlad would have to take up in the cave, but maybe the "curse" was only on Master. In any case, Master said that if Vlad were to become like him, that Master would be free and one day Master would call upon him to do his bidding. This is what is happening at the end. We see Master is free and he seems just about ready to claim the other end of the bargain.

reply

Charles Dance explained to him in tihe cave that he would be set free if Dracula became a vampire, and that one day he would call upon him to help him against those who originally turned him into that.

The ending is what he's doing there.

reply

Hell, they're developing a TV show about the idea that Dracula's brides survived to the modern day whereas he did not, so it'll be about those 3. Have fun casting that.

reply

3? Who were his brides? I know there was the original that died (in Bramstokers she jumped out the window suicide style and in this movie she fell) and then I know that he had a bit of a harem but I don't know that they were his "brides" lol and then I know that he fell in love with Mina...again I don't know that he married her... So still so far I only count the one... what am I missing?

reply

That's just what they're called. It doesn't mean that Dracula was actually married to them. The Brides of Dracula are characters in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. They are three seductive female vampire "sisters" who reside with Count Dracula in his castle in Transylvania, where they entrance male humans with their beauty and charm, and then proceed to feed upon them. Dracula provides them with victims to devour, mainly infants and children. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brides_of_Dracula)

The old vampire was changed from a man to a vampire by a demon.
Old vamp was imprisoned in the cave from a curse.
Dracula drank blood by the end of the third day and thus became a full vampire and broke the curse holding back the old vampire in his cave.
Both vamps have been walking the world since.
Dracula looking for the reincarnation of his wife.
Old vampire placing his pieces on the table, a la Nick Fury style, to fight the force of darkness of the demon that changed him into a vampire.

So old vamp likely has had his eyes on Frankenstein's monster, a werewolf, invisible man, blah, blah blah, to come together as a team to fight evil with real monsters.

reply

"Thepartyoftea" is 100% correct. The intent of this movie was the start off the monster universe which is a copy of the marvel universe. The master vampire is basically the equivalent of Samuel L Jackson "Nick Fury". He'll be looking to put a team together to fight evil. Namely the demon and or demons that imprisoned him in that cave. The irony is he'll be putting together a team of monsters. The mummy, Dracula, the invisible man, creature from the Black Lagoon etc. etc. A neat idea to make heroes out of monsters that we've been afraid of for the last 60 years
