In the film, Prince Vlad’s many speeches on love, honor, and family appear dull and long. In addition, the film’s dialogue also appears rigid. Obviously, "Dracula's First Year" only intends to be cool and does not want to make sense. ()
The film is not a pretended vampire movie. The initial part is made so well that we can feel Prince Vlad’s dilemma. ()
Whether it is a thorough historical epic or a mashup of action and horror, the film is not qualified. (by)
Charles Dance is a Nosferatu monster in the cave, a bald villain with a mouth full of fangs. The classic styles of British vampires on the screen all follow this approach, such as Christopher Lee, Gary Oldman, Michael Sheen and Kate Beckinsale. Only when he appeared, the darkness struck, the film became interesting. ()
The armor is sonorous, the cloak is fluttering, and the battle scenes are still readable, but the dialogue is a mess; the overall style is neither scary nor heroic. In short, although the film is not as bad as "Me, Frankenstein", it is not far off. ()
Congratulations to Universal's classic monster trash library for adding another newbie. Director Gary Shore showed a good sense of rhythm in his film debut, but nothing else. ()
