Dracula Untold sought to reinvent the age-old vampire story with a darker, more sympathetic take on this iconic character. It had a new origin story for Dracula; however, nothing more was living up to expectations. The film seemed to lack the coordination between action and mythological storytelling, while the emotional depth of the characters was absent. The movie had great visuals and featured Luke Evans in a charming performance but could not engage viewers enough, disappointing many because of the film's lack of cohesiveness.
