As a huge fan of the novel, I was just amazed that there was FINALLY a movie which remembered what a terrible person Dracula is. In the novel he is presented as nothing more than a serial killer and sexual predator, I have no idea why every other adaptation missed that

It also stuck with what, I think, the true theme of the novel is: learning to rely on the people around you for strength when everything around you is falling to pieces.
