Ultimately, then I was definitely pleasantly surprised with "Dracula: The Original Living Vampire" and found it to be a watchable movie and entertaining enough for what it was. My rating of "Dracula: The Original Living Vampire" lands on a five out of ten stars.
A very good re-imagining of the Dracula tale, one carried by the enthusiastic performance by Luke Evans. The film's attempts to make its subject's mass murderer a heroic, tragic figure succeed only in a misapplication of style and intent.
