Bloody good - beware spoilers!

Warning: Spoilers
Spoiler alert! I was lucky enough to watch this movie premiere on my birthday with my Vampire court in Dallas, so I may be biased. But even if I'm biased, I think my review is detailed enough for you to make your own choices.

These are some of my favorite actors and they blend so well in this movie to bring all of the characters to life!

I highly recommend watching this movie if you are a fan of action, horror and comedy. It's also important to note that the film is a psychological thriller too, you have to keep wondering how each character is going to react in their situation with their individual problems and they did a good job of keeping me guessing!

One of the biggest takeaways I had from the movie is that if anyone is experiencing psychological abuse and manipulation, they should seek help and probably distance themselves from the people who are perpetuating the problem.

I was wondering if Dracula would be a good or bad guy being played by Nicholas cage because he can do both! Dracula is most definitely not a good guy in this one, but the way Nicholas played him makes me just want a little more, he's on par with cruella deville and hisoka (from hunterxhunter).

There is a LOT of blood, so much blood that I was sure someone probably slipped on blood on set and probably busted a tailbone. There are a TON of adult themes and I would not recommend for anyone under 18 at all. That being said, plenty of minors have watched horror movies and this one is one of the best if you're just starting out. Why? Because it's not just horror, it has a lot of intentionally funny moments that draw you in, so much relatability to the characters you never thought you would connect with, and plenty of situations you see in daily life, your family and the workplace that make you somewhat invested in the characters.

There were plenty of times I was surprised for the main characters! The scene at the end was so sweet but it left me believing there would DEFINITELY be a part 2 since they left the pitcher ON THE COUNTER! I will definitely be watching this again and I will be buying the movie when it's on DVD. I want to see how Renfield adapts to life after Dracula and then as soon as he's comfortable, BAM guess who's back?! I'd definitely watch a part 2!
