Gay: 0/10. Sorry, nothing :(

Twilight Influences: None

Enjoyment: 8/10. It has been two weeks of moving and my journal being lost in the mail (re: sent to a different dorm) but bare with me. I enjoyed this film, the acting was phenomenal from everyone and the stakes were very high but also suffers from horror movie dumbness. Why do they only hunt dracula at night? Why did they take the brides out of it... well maybe they didnt? .... it was weird. Still Clemens and Toby were great. I told myself to not get attached but I did. Toby was such a compelling character and I KNEW he would die but I was hoping he would live longer (thank god he didnt tho.. traumatizing). I did not expect the bite but it was easily the best scene. Also I love a burning vampire child.

Vampires: Ok. They were weird. It's like the reverse blacula where I like the other vampires more than dracula. I love their fucked up eyes and burning. It really feels like an infection that COULD be treated! The kid was the kicker. He looked worse but the emotional impact, the burn marks on his grandfather's skin and hair, he was ready to burn with him. Plus,,, sunicide? Always a win. Dracula was fugly tho and not really in the fun way. 7/10

Sire Rule: No sire rule.

Representative of 2020s? too soon.

Relative Popularity? Meh. I know people who have seen it but a lot of people have never heard of it
