Scared and disturbed me. Yes. I should have thought of that. Probably all of them could see that the scripts were not that good. This confused my also, especially when Dracula corrected either Van Helsing or Seward when one of them said that vampires were nosferatu, the undead and Dracula said, "No, nosferatu means not dead". I took this to mean that this movie was presenting vampires as different from what Bram Stoker portrayed them. But there was never anywhere in the movie that showed Dracula to have a heartbeat or had him say anything that implied he had a beating heart at least to some extent. Having Mina appear as a rotting corpse made no sense . it would have made more sense for her to look more normal as time when on in the scene she was in, as if the "disease" not only reanimates the person, but also makes the "nosferatu" more alive. Spoiler alert--------it would have also made her being killed have more impact and be much sadder since her father sees her slowing becoming more like she was alive and yet he knows he has to destroy her. They didn't "drive off into the sunset as though she's done nothing wrong". And don't forget the testimonies of all the survivors. You talk about all the people that Carrie killed? Yes she did, but do you also think the survivors are wrong for not telling the detective the truth? I don't know whether any of them knew that Carrie was alive, but all of them, even though they all saw their friends and teachers dying or likely thought they would die, they all flatly refused to be hostile towards Carrie and none of them blamed her for what happened. I'm not going to say it is right or wrong what they did, but maybe they all thought that, since many of them never were truly nice to Carrie and some were mean to her, that they should be silent about her actions. It was their decision to do this. They were there at the school, not you or me. Yes, in other parts he was a jerk, but I did think he was right here. The son was upset that his bike was wrecked, so he wanted to just quit the race. His step-father didn't want him to be a quitter, but to be brave and still go on with the race, possibly to show the bad guys that he was not going to let them stop him from doing his best. But in all other areas, I also agree that his mom should have stood up for him and let the step-father know not to treat him like he is dumb or would harm his step-brother. The grandma should have stepped in also and told her son to stop being so rough. I would love that ring that would glow...so neat! Studio Executives need to learn that when a movie doesn't do well because the violence is low/non-graphic, the nudity is low or non-existent and the same with the profanity, the studio still should do a sequel, even if it still will not do well. This was a very good movie that back then and still today, does deserve a sequel. People who love a decent film still want to see them today, even if the audience is not very big. This was a marvelous, entertaining film. Alec Baldwin should play The Shadow since he is The Shadow. Just watched it for the "one hundredth time", so to speak and I do love it also. I know Alec Baldwin is older, has had his problems, but I think he could still play The Shadow. It will be a good sequel movie if he really knows what to do, like he did here and makes sure that no one messes it up by his taking control of how it is made. It doesn't need a reboot. Alec Baldwin is old, for sure but he still can play The Shadow and should do a sequel, taking complete control of how the film is done. They took the scriptures they liked, believed and lived by them and discarded the rest. View all replies >
