5/10
No masterpiece, but showing potential and respect for the classic!

Warning: Spoilers
The idea of a Lesbian van Helsing working under her supervisor Renfield, as part of the urban police, is giving a modern edge to dusty, old Bram Stoker canon.

The lighting of the movie is better than dozens I had to watch in recent years & same is true on the audio needing much less filtering, or much less amplifying.

Science in denial & the wishful thinking of occult bookworms lacking practice is ALSO fitting that kinda horror story.

So, while i cannot help it: The attempt to dump this movie faster & deeper than even oldest black & white movies IS wrong! The movie is NOT a masterpiece, but a solid & clearly motivated production.

Actors & actresses are not outstanding, but not one spoiled a scene by being high on drugs, or otherwise misbehaving, at all!

The Lesbian soft-sex scene is fitting adult relationships, and does not drift into cheap porn.

I do not regret watching this movie, though I did watch it at 110% playback speed and only, because a friend had it streamed.

Still: It is not junk, and that team, when funded properly, could produce a sequel worth watching!
