Edgar, hang on a minute...


Er, hang on a minute. Isn't Edgar supposed to be Nadja's twin brother? If that is the case then that'd make him 200 years old (at least) too, so why isn't he a vampire as well? I don't understand.

He is a vampire. When you first see him, he is ill, possibly from not feeding. Then Nadja and Cassandra give him the blood supplement, made from shark embryos, which gets him back to a somewhat normal condition that we see him in throughout the last act of the film.

But this one's eatting my popcorn!

He doesn't feed, near the end you hear him tell Van Helsing that the family's curse is selective. He gets sick from not feeding, but he has chosen a different path, that's why he assists in killing Nadja!

Meat's meat, and man's gotta eat!!
