REMINDER: Critics are pretentious clowns.


They've always historically dunked on horror movies. This is the latest victim in their war on horror.

Most genre fans that I've seen discussing this have enjoyed it and from taking a look at the 'rotten' reviews on RT it's clear that critics are being cockwombles per usual.

The main criticisms;

- It's a 'pointless' story, you know what will happen. You can say that about any adaptation you dickweeds. Yeah no shit if you know the Dracula story you know what's going to happen on the boat. You could say this about the majority of movies because truth be told most movies I watch I could have told you before hand the general gist of what would happen.

- One or two gimps seem to be taking issue with how Dracula is portrayed. These people are wanting some suave Count with a thick Hungarian accent.

- It's 'by the numbers'. Yeah everyone knows. It's Dracula fucking people up on a boat. Not every movie needs to reinvent the wheel.




Saw a comment online which sums it's up;
Critics when a horror movie doesn't do anything new: Unacceptable.

Is Rendfield in it?

reply

I liked it. Some genuine good scares.

I watched it because of your post, I wanted to see what the critics unfairly trashed. Well the movie were not good, critics were right this time

what did you think of it?

reply

The critics were right, unfortunately.

I still don't trust them but I have to concede I made a fool of myself defending this movie from their criticisms before seeing it for myself. It's an okay 5 or 6 out of 10. It's not bad but I wouldn't really recommend it.
