Review of Dracula Untold (2014) by Kevin M. W — 04 Jul 2015

The old monster was not always a monster, was not always old, and this reboot, seen through what seems like teen angst-y goggles, takes a look at that possibility. And so the decisions that bring the monster out are inspected and verified, and not badly as well. In the middle, a dark and mysterious supernatural element, a power, and one that seduces ultimately, that begs redress, hides in the darkness of a cave in the wilderness.

Many critics didn't like this. I think they're wrong is all. This is okay, overwrought in places, maybe, but nice as the kicker of a possible new series.
