I think the movie Dracula(1931) didn’t quit meet my exception of a horror film.
Firstly, I expect a horror movie should contain a lots of blood and gore or
violent scenes that can really
make people feel scared. But the movie Dracula didn’t show the audience how the
victims were killed or their blood being taken away by the vampire. Also, I
think this film is too slow and lack of sound effects such as background music
which can not create a horrible mood for the audience.
Secondly, I except the character of Van Helsing should
have a brighter characteristic even though his is not the main character in the
film but he is the one that slay Count Dracula the vampire in the movie. So, I
think they should add more personalities into the character in order to create a
more dramatic effect.
Thirdly, I find that the actions of the characters look a bit
odd such as the victims reactions
are too exaggerated and they didn’t even try to escape or fight back because I
think once a human being are in danger their instinct will tell them to survive
and take certain actions to fight or flee but in this film those victims didn’t
do that it appears that it is not realistic enough.
At last, I think the ending is too rough because the Dracula was
too easy to kill and I except there would be some fighting scenes before they
kill Dracula.
