Based on the characters created by Bram Stoker in Dracula,the movie follows Renfield who has been Dracula's servant for almost 100 years.

 

Renfield can't put up with Dracula's narcissism,and joins a victims of abuse group. He tries to find Dracula bad people,who deserve to die,so he hunts down the people who hurt the members of the group.

Dracula is not pleased with it,as he wants pure souls,in order to heal,also, those are apparently the most delicious.

 

A police officer hunts down a crime family who owns the police force,and whenever she brings anyone from the crime family to the police station,they are being let go. She doesn't understand why the police refuse to bring them to justice,as she wants to avenge her father's death.

 

She joins forces with Renfield,as the crime family joins forces with Dracula,who wants world domination.

 

The movie was funny and entertaining,although,at times,it didn't make sense SPOILER how can one bring back dead people with Dracula's blood?! People who were dead for some time!

Also,in the beginning,the lines and acting reminded me of 'Dracula:Dead and loving it' as they were caricaturesque.

I liked the action / fighting scenes.

 

The actors were good,delivered funny lines.

 

The visual effects were good,just that the blood looked like it was too much,and fake.

 

The soundtrack was Ok.

 

The movie is out in cinemas across the world.

 

Rating : Worth a watch !
