Dracula (2020)



Not even the slightest bit 'faithful' but how many versions of Dracula have we seen that stick to the source material, a lot!

Which Dracula Film is Most Faithful to the Book? - Spoiler, not this one!

I almost gave up after the first episode, where it started quite strong and ended up getting a little tedious. However, I stuck with it and episode two was by far the stand out section, almost entirely taking place on Dracula's voyage to England on the ship Demeter. We got a nice and slow character piece while Drac methodically offed everyone on the cruise!

Part three was not what I was expecting at all, this is where it steps clearly into Sherlock territory and I enjoyed it's boldness. Mark Gattiss even gives himself a nice cameo appearance.

Anyway, I've been watching this all day (4 and half hours), and I'm tired! It was enjoyable but a little bit uneven. It's got some nice gory bits in it though, it's pretty sexy as well, and it seems just a little bit gay, but I'm OK with that!
