Are we maybe taking this movie too literally? There's a strong theme of religion (faith) vs science through out the movie. Could that be more the point at the end?
They just get worse and worse, though. I'd rather that they think of something new, but we know that's not gonna happen.
Yeah, I guess they were in place of having rats? Someone in another thread said that rats were considered in poor taste to have on film.
Pretty silly looking but I like it
They also have giant Potato bugs sleeping in some coffins.
That's a good explanation. Thanks.
"In other vampire lore, the coffin has to be surrounded by the very soil the vamp was buried in, though that's just from the original "Dracula" novel."
Why is the soil required. What would happen if the soil wasn't there?
"In some of the more modern vampire novels I've read, some vampires black out the windows of their bedrooms during the day so they can sleep in normal beds."
Yeah, I was wondering why they didn't just do that in this movie. I thought maybe it was explained in the novel.
Thanks for the info.
I remember in Coppola's movie Dracula was transported in a crate with soil in it on a ship.
I see. Didn't they use that in Bram Stoker's Dracula?
Have you read the IWTV novel? Is it explained in the novel?
Thanks for the reply.
