Rent Dracula Reborn (2015)

Spoilers follow ... - Dracula Reborn review by NP

This is quite a frustrating film to watch, so why do I keep coming back to it? The locations and cinematography are excellent. The main vampire, Corvinus, is great fun. The kills are samey, but well staged. The band of 'heroes', however, are woefully inactive and - possibly because most are required to speak in English which isn't their first language - the acting is stilted and listless. There is virtually no plot. There are similarities between Corvinus and another, cowled figure who makes several repetitive attacks. Turns out the second fellow is Dracula himself.

There are many strangely contradictory online reviews – either 5/5 proclaiming 'Grate fun', or 'It's good! It's great! It's super!!!!' (the vast majority of them are written in pigeon English) - or 1/5 proclaiming this as the worst film they have ever seen (these critiques sometimes consist of as many as one or two words). I wouldn't wish to cast aspersions about 'Dracula Reborn's' cast and crew writing favourable reviews, but the extreme difference of opinion makes oddly hilarious reading. I'm not sure the film is quite as entertaining, but it has its moments. Like the reviews, these moments lurch from one extreme to another. My score is 6 out of 10.
