If there is a drop left of Dracula Untold, I think that Ive already tasted it.

Unfortunately, the end result is just really long in the tooth.

And I imagine that whenDracula Untoldfirst got pitched, it was along the lines of300with vampires.

But the end result feels somehow decidedly less.

Youll be damned if you cant guess how this is going to end.

This sunlight is all the harsher with director Gary Shores workmanlike aesthetic.

The rest of the cast is left to rot long before Draculas fangs ever sinks into them.

Universal got far closer to resurrecting its monster stable with 2010s slightly offWolfmanremake.

But this bloodless affair promises to keep Dracula back underground for the foreseeable future.
