I do recognise the film as something from a true fan, however.<br /><br />Like you I'd love to see what could be done with a budget.<br /><br />Many thanks for the kind words re the blog.Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-44375680556869092482014-11-05T06:37:36.818-08:002014-11-05T06:37:36.818-08:00Though this is definitely far from a perfect movie...Though this is definitely far from a perfect movie, the low budget shows, and the acting (especially van Helsing... oh my) leaves a bit to be desired, I can't agree with the score. It's too low. This is evidently a labor of a true Dracula fan, a true Dracula lover who understands a lot of what makes it so special for some of us. And, for example, the whole first act when Harker goes to castle Dracula and right until he leaves it, it's full of a magical atmosphere that few other movies understand. <br /><br />I would say the movie suffers more where the scenes are more "normal", that is, not with vampires at hand. <br /><br />One thing I agree though: the 70's rock-metal song in the intro (and the outro) is completely out of place and brings the perfect atmosphere down for a second. <br /><br />Fantastic effort. I'd love to see what these people can do with a budget. <br /><br />This blog is awesome by the way.TGTR0660https://www.blogger.com/profile/08276474963332127329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-44691357775580728502013-06-09T08:41:52.225-07:002013-06-09T08:41:52.225-07:00Hi James, the amazon link above or https://www.cre...Hi James, the amazon link above or https://www.createspace.com/369180Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-43053335962639576472013-06-08T14:37:01.477-07:002013-06-08T14:37:01.477-07:00where does one find this film?where does one find this film?James Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16366615379854337489noreply@blogger.com
