The only one I who seemed three dimensional was the captain, probably due to Liam Cunningham being the strongest actor, by far. The atmosphere and horror elements more than make up for it though.

David Dastmalchian is good, too. Does he have much of a role?

He�s ok, he doesn�t really fit the role, imo. He does the best with what he�s got, none of the characters have a whole lot of depth, tbh.

I watched this. It was decent.

I've never read Dracula, so maybe that would help things. But it was pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking. I could have done with a bit more practical effects on Dracula, but the design is pretty cool.

Am I the only one who has gotten a little spoiled with 4k HDR and can't really tolerate theater contrast now? It stands out more for darkly lit films like this, though. Night scenes just have terrible contrast with projection screens or something.

^^^I dunno, maybe it�s because I see the world in flat shades of grey, where the shadows are more distinct than the ppl and objects that cast them, but I never really see the difference in picture quality between all the different platforms (?). It all looks the same to me.

For those who have seen it... why...

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: was the stowaway with all the Dracula bites not turned into a vampire multiple times over?

Did I miss something or just plot armor? (I was very drowsy while watching, heh..)

The Dr. gave her repeated blood transfusions with his blood, which kept the transformation at bay.

Right, but didn't she have a bunch of previous, healed bites?

Started out like it could be decent period horror piece, then kinda stumbled its way through mediocrity.

My god was this boring or what!
Could have thrown in a Meg or a Kracken, just to brighten things up.

Utterly stupid characters, except for the black one and the woman. Felt like a BBC production.

First they lack any curiosity about the "stowaway" woman, then they don't want to talk about vampires when they start dropping sailors.
Then they fail to do the obvious thing and group together and search the ship.

So much contrivance just to prevent Dracula's casket from being discovered, brought out into the light and/or dumped overboard.

Terrible writing. Terrible show.
