This film isn't great. Dracula is played out at this point but, it's a cool concept. Dracula at sea terrorizing the crew. The execution and story are just way off in this for me.
The direction is decent from Andre Overdal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe). I assume the budget wasn't much but he did a decent job with what he had.
The cast is trying their best. Again the material and the screenplay are terrible. But the relatively unknown cast are doing as good as they can.
This films screenplay is the problem. This film should've been 20 minutes shorter and taken place over the last night on the ship. I was so frustrated with how many "days" pass without the crew finding Dracula in the middle of the day and releasing him into sunlight. Only to have the final battle take place at night. Why would these characters, who have literally watched 2 people spontaneously combust wait until the darkest night imaginable to fight a vampire? They had day after day to go search from Dracula on this boat and have the sun take him. Really bad screenplay.
Again, not a great film but I like the filmmaker and will watch whatever he makes next. This was a dud though.
