I can’t seem to muster up much interest in yet another attempt to tell the story of Dracula, especially if it’s an attempt to tell said story in such a comic book-y kind of way. Why not take a serious, adult approach to the story? Why does it have to be overloaded with bats and desaturated to the point it looks like everything else?
Coming to theaters October 17 is Dracula Untold, directed by Gary Shore and starring Luke Evans as the title character, the film describes itself as the story of a young prince who, when the lives of his wife and child are put in danger by a bloodthirsty sultan, risks his soul to save them, and in the process becomes the first vampire. Dominic Cooper, Sarah Gadon and Samantha Barks co-star.
