I passed on opportunity of seeing Dracula Untold at the cinema in late 2014, as I was not overly impressed by what I had seen from the trailers. I finally caught up with Universal's reboot of the franchise, hoping that a home viewing and tempered expectations would make me more cordially disposed towards the film. Sadly, the movie turned out exactly as I had surmised, proving to be a superficial under taking with no narrative depth. Furthermore, is was a bloodless action film, rather than a true horror movie, resulting in a very unsatisfying compromise. The fact that this movie made over $200 million globally at the box office saddens me.
