Ruled by Demons

The film tells the allusion of vampires concisely and nuclearly. In the short film length, Dracula's path to becoming a devil is exhausted. Choosing to sacrifice oneself between humiliation and being left alone, insisting on swearing to the death but being betrayed by the people, and finally forced to succumb in pain. Moths fighting the fire are only the remaining favorites. So many turning points are tightly connected one by one, and the development is reasonable. Persuasive, so that the audience is not a bit bored to watch.

The story is both right and evil bringing out the protagonist's hard-to-return process of trying to solve the national crisis with demons, making the audience feel helpless and frightened.

There are a lot of things I want to say in such a short film, and of course there are quite a few shortcomings. It seems that the dialogue is too short and a little unnatural, and the story environment of special effects is not detailed enough, which is quite obvious. But the protagonist Luke Evans (I thought he was handsome when I watched Hobbit 2) was surprisingly delicate. It is rare to see such a hierarchical performance in this type of movie, which successfully interprets Dracula’s original intentions. , Struggle and pain, the performance is quite watchable!

Of course, with the popularity of vampires in recent years, the continuation of this story is expected. This story is like a prequel. It is a good start. I don't know if we can expect how it will continue to develop in modern times.

    The bullet time at the beginning, bats, infrared + echo night vision, controlling bat swarms, burning sunlight, etc., the scenes and special effects are quite good. Compared with "Four Hundred Years of Surprise", it wins in special effects and loses in emotional scenes. | The content of this should be regarded as a more orthodox legend of the origin of vampires.
