because it's boring, repetitive and goes nowehere, lacks creativity and has terrible dialogue. the characters learn a bunch of stuff yet they try nothing new: every day they wait fir the night and every night is the same as the last one which quickly grows old and boring to watch. All the kills look the same while the characters just wait to get killed and do none of the obvious things they should do like interrogate the woman that clearly knows stuff, search the cargo at day, set up some kind of a trap. or leave the boat and set it on fire in the daytime etc or just check the box that all but says "VAMPIRE IN HERE" on it. The reason they don't just blast the whole cargo open (desire for a bonus) is abandoned WAY too soon and thus makes the whole thing hilariously stupid instead of terrifyingly desparate. the dialogue is often disconnected from the events taking place and referencing things the movie didn't show or let the audience connect to, or monologuing today's politics in moments when it's frankly hysterically funny to do so. The only GOOD line: "it's the devil, and we're all going with him" is immediately ruined by "to hell". Just in case we thought he meant the Mall; lucky they cleared that out for us. The vampire and the ship are visually ok I guess, I can't be sure because the lighting of the movie is terrible. The acting is good but it can't make up for the terrible script that leaves the characters feel much more like the writers didn't know how to deal with them, rather than scared and disoriented as they should be. The geography is lost on me; the ship practically starts teleporting as soon as the writers realize they have no idea what to write next. And finally, the ending is absolutely hilarious: I don't mind them going with a demonic version of Dracula, it's actually my favourite version of the vampire (big fan of Del Torro's The Strain), but trying to sell that THAT incarnation could just show up in a highly populated bar without everyone screaming "wtf is THAT???" is so hilarious. I mean, they could've easily handled it the way The Strain did, but they didn't. What this SHOULD have been is a slow burn story in which the characters learn new things and desperately try different methods of survival each failing after the other until their inevitable demise at the end. Instead, it's a convenience fest of the same death scene over and over while making sure we remember Racism is Bad because that's what Dracula is all about (btw, The strain did THAT way better too).
Everything is subjective including movies but my gosh I loved this film for the atmosphere and acting and have already seen it three times....to each his own tho'
I feel like it could’ve been a bit better with a few tweeks. Specifically if they kept the dog running off at the end (even though we know the pet dog was killed) and also if they made Dracula at the end look very noble, just his cane and tapping at the end.
Whitby...where Bram set Dracula is my favourite place...its 2 hours away from me and I try to go as often as possible..Whitby Abbey is rather magical xx P.s I'm new here....you had hair!x
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 no...i meant you had hair as in long hair...do you do hair!?! X Just watched a video where you said you are a hairdresser....you'd be my dream best friend....my hair is a life unto itself lol x
Makes me wonder if slavic people who the first people to come up with the vampire folklore mightve been an inspiration from cannibalistic individuals or cults. But other than that man we need more 30 days of nights type . I reckon we only got a few films depicting them as a force of nature , the monsters and not some playboy sexfiend 😂 we got plenty of those already. Glad this film was made even though the returns are not big 😢
Mmm, the idea of Dracula being a savage killing machine...that's never who the character was really. I mean, certainly the look of the creature in this would suggest that it was going to be that, but in a way the whole point of Dracula was that he was a more controlled creature, I think. Just as evil and murderous but with less gore. I think it may have been a slight design mistake to make the monster so vicious looking in a way, because one expects a creature like that to be just fuckin rabid, tearing people to shreds and stuff. Maybe a different creature design would have been more in keeping with the style of the original story, or maybe its the juxtaposition that they were going for - it looks like a madman but it is actually a less gory killer. I havent seen it, but I'm gonna be doing a trailer reaction later today probably, so I'll see what I think when I see that. Cool review. :o)
Honestly, to me, this movie definitely felt that it had lower budget. Not nearly enough shots of the ocean, the landscape, and beautiful vistas are used. And in certain scenes, it straight up looks like there is a green screen behind the ship, which is a huge immersion-breaker for me.
I think I would give the movie the same rating having just come out of it barely an hour ago. But I think it was decent enough because I think they were trying to go for something different with him being more gruesome paired with the psychological part of it because you don't necessarily see him much or for very long. So when seeing the gradual bloodshed and then FINALLY seeing him for brief glimpses adds to the horror of it all. I do agree though that it was drawn out for time for no reason. They didn't need to make it two hours long. An hour and a half or an hour and forty minutes would have been plenty.
Anyone knows what was the story with the dirt in the crates? Does Dracula need it in his new home? Other than that I totally agree that it was an interesting take...Dracula on a ship, but at the same time, I would have wanted more gore or some manipulation or some story/dialogues with Dracula. It was repetitive as hell and I just think it´s a shame that the director/writer didn´t explore it enough.
Was it the best thing I ever saw? No… But I was entertained for the most part. Definitely would have left some of the corny gore scenes out because it felt off..there was something missing with this film but I can’t put my Finger on it rn
Very cool review I'd like to see this movie Dracula on a ship 🚢 nice 👍 a tad repetitious that's ok with me but lame kills that might bother me in a way
The last vampire movie that really scared me (on the first watch) was Danny Huston in 30 Days of Night. I’ve seen that one probably 30-50 times over the years. Great flick with plenty of gore! 🩸
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 Sometimes movies resonate more because of certain times and what we’re going through. Let me tell you, I was going through some sh*t and this one gave me some peace for a few hours. Horror does it like no other genre.
It was a good movie. Don’t know why people are not liking this one
It is good
because it's boring, repetitive and goes nowehere, lacks creativity and has terrible dialogue.

today is my birthday and im seeing this soon ill have a review for it on my channel
Everything is subjective including movies but my gosh I loved this film for the atmosphere and acting and have already seen it three times....to each his own tho'
Yeees please do a Trollhunter review! That’s one of me and my husband’s favorite found footage films.
It was a great fucking movie! Need the sequel to hunt down Dracula now.
I feel like it could’ve been a bit better with a few tweeks.
Specifically if they kept the dog running off at the end (even though we know the pet dog was killed) and also if they made Dracula at the end look very noble, just his cane and tapping at the end.
Gore.
You said exactly what I was thinking lol from the kills, to the predictability. It had potential but it fell kind of flat.
Kali's shirt is amazing, Starry Eyes was a fantastic film!!
She found that shirt at a Zia records for pretty cheap
She always finds the cool shirts for the movies that I showed her!! Haha. And they never have my size.
Love Bram Stokers Dracula as well, I think it's a masterpiece. Will check this one out. Thanks guys love your reviews 👍
Thank you
Just seen it last night. I really liked it thought it was dark and somewhat gritty in a way.
Whitby...where Bram set Dracula is my favourite place...its 2 hours away from me and I try to go as often as possible..Whitby Abbey is rather magical xx
P.s I'm new here....you had hair!x
I did your hair?
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 no...i meant you had hair as in long hair...do you do hair!?! X

Definitely want them to be more like monsters and creatures

Yeah maybe
I give this one 6.75/10. Good film overall. Great acting and visually its really good. A bit drawn out though and just missing something.
Agreed

Hammer 🔨 Horror Thanks
Great stuff
Looks like it good could be good.
It is

He needs to be packed in earth inside the coffin I believe
But usually Dracula sleeps in an empty coffin. So this earth thing is for travelling purpose? Or even travelling on water?@@sinistercinemareviews5420
Aye...in the mythology he has to rest in his homelands earth...xx
So whenever daylight arises he has to sleep in a coffin full of earth? Just wondering because that´s never shown in other movies...@@lucygresham3012
Was it the best thing I ever saw? No… But I was entertained for the most part. Definitely would have left some of the corny gore scenes out because it felt off..there was something missing with this film but I can’t put my
Finger on it rn
It's Dracula on a boat
Indeed, it is
“I’m tired of all these mother f***ing blood suckers on my mother f***ing boat.”
It's
Looks great Vampire 🧛♂️

9 out of 12…
Great movie with a weak script. Dialogue needed a punch up.
Something was off for me
you going to see birth/rebirth this weekend?
Doesn’t seem to be anywhere around me
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 that sucks i hope i can find it somewhere it will be on shudder after the theater run
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 not playing around here eaither but it says it should be out on shudder tomorrow so i recommend checking it out that way
Very cool review I'd like to see this movie Dracula on a ship 🚢 nice 👍 a tad repetitious that's ok with me but lame kills that might bother me in a way
Hope you enjoy it
Quick question what did u think of evil dead new one
I really enjoyed it
The last vampire movie that really scared me (on the first watch) was Danny Huston in 30 Days of Night. I’ve seen that one probably 30-50 times over the years. Great flick with plenty of gore! 🩸
Never been a massive fan of hat one weirdly
