I was VERY on board early, as the aesthetics of the flashback to classic black and white Dracula was awesome. Unfortunately the movie couldn't keep me as invested for the full run time.
Nick Hoult is awesome as an MCR music video character, and Ben Schwartz is awesome doing his thing but I wish Nic Cage would have gone even bigger. He goes too big for it to feel like a nuanced performance, but not big enough for it to feel like the style is the substance.
There's some fun gore and action set pieces for sure. Renfield's cute little wave as he rides a corpse down 2 stories will forever be in my mind.
All in all, it's a bit of fun and not much more.
