Dracula A love Tale

 

Lets talk about the plot shall we ?

Dracula (2026)" refers to a new Gothic romantic fantasy film directed by Luc Besson and starring Caleb Landry Jones, Christoph Waltz, and Zoë Bleu, releasing in North America on February 6, 2026, focusing on the prince's transformation after his wife's death and his quest to reclaim her from death. It's a fresh adaptation or re imagining of Bram Stoker's novel, exploring themes of power, immortality, and eternal love, following earlier versions like Coppola's 1992 film and Robert Eggers' 2024 Nosferatu.

 A 15th-century Prince Vlad renounces God after the murder of his wife while fighting a war in the name of God. Thus God cursing him to becoming the immortal Dracula. Centuries later, he hunts for his lost love in 19th-century London while being pursued by a relentless priests. 

This is your basic plot and for what it is worth this movie is actually a pretty good take on a re imagining for Bram Stokers. There were a lot of things that they changed obviously but most of the were subtle and I think for the movie it was trying to be the changes they made were pretty good and went well with the plot of the story. The guy who plays Dracula was such a good actor ( despite being a very gross crier lol ) he was able to display so many emotions and make us feel those emotions. The acting in general was actually very good. So I'll give the acting in it a 8/10 . The cinematography was also really well done it was visually beautiful and I love all the Costuming. You know Costuming is something I love when it comes to anything really so the cinematography was 8/10 and the Costuming was a 8/10 so to be honest everything as a whole made this movie an 8/10 . It is worth the watch and it focuses mostly on the love aspect of Dracula and his Elizabeta!

DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS!!!!!

This movie starts out with a Vlad and his wife having sex yet done tastefully ( accept when they are playing around with food and then they get all gross with it ...ew) it doesn't even show them naked really. Just a fair warning. However it is important to the movie. It is their love tale and then it goes into the war that Prince Vlad had to fight in and Elizabeta had to flee from and never made it out of . So in this movie I wanted to talk about a few changes that they did that were kinda odd to me but also kinda worked. They took Lucy out of the movie and Renfield. They also removed the vampire bride girls that try to devour Jonathan in the original. Now the look they gave him was great he was very reminiscent of Gary Oldman's Dracula portrayal but not exact and I liked that . Mina is still Mina but the way they brought Lucy without being Lucy is ....A mental facility captured a woman named Maria and brought her in and then called in a priest ( who I believe I suppose to be Van Helsing but they don't say it ) to come and check her out. Turns out this woman is a Vampire and is in search of her master. Mina shows up to the facility and informs them she is there to see if her new friend Maria was ok. After the priest had found a picture of what Dracula's wife looked like he sees that Mina looks almost identical and then they keep a close eye on her. They speak to her and discuss how she feels like she doesn't belong in this time and she explains how she met Maria which was at Maria Wedding with Henry who was her soon to be husbands ( Jonathan) I cant remember if they said close friend, brother, or business partner. Anyways that is how Maria and her met. Maria was trying to help her master find his wife in this time and just so happened to find her. Meanwhile back at the castle , Jonathan shows up at the castle of Prince Vlad and offers Vlad to buy a piece of land and real estate in Paris and Vlad aka Dracula says enough talking for the night after they ate a bit and then he showed him to his room and then told him not to leave his room ( just like in the other one ) and again Jonathan does not listen only this time....the brides were replaced by cute as hell ( I think they are ) Gargoyles and they are like 3 feet tall and his minions so cute I  love them so much. Vlad comes down as the Gargoyles are stringing him upside down and he says " I told you no tot leave you room "and that he is hungry so he is going to eat him. He asks Jonathan what his dying wish is and he says to hear about Dracula and all that he is . He wants to know his story and so that when Dracula tell his story about his life and his adventures to finding Elizabeta and creating this cologne that draws woman in as if it were the most potent pheromones ever. It basically entrances them and makes Dracula irresistible and them to rave him to basically devour him. Jonathan says you cant kill me because you know what love means and I am about to be wed to the love of my life and shows him the picture of Mina and ....well we know what happens from there. Vlad spares Jonathans life because he brought him his Elizabeta but throws him in the dungeon where he ends up escaping. Vlad goes to Paris free's Maria after eating a bunch of horny nuns and becoming young again.  Maria goes convinces Mina she is fine and arranges a meeting for her master and Mina to meet. He charms her and yet she still refrains from him yet doesn't want to. The priest and doctor find Jonathan and find out Mina is in trouble and they tell Mina that he is not a nice man he is a Vampire and killer . She doesn't want to believe that . She goes to her room and guess who is there? Vlad ya you know!! He is like I will leave and she is like yes please and then she stops him and they speak more and then she realizes she does know him and she does love him and then remembers who she really is . He takes her back to their castle in Romania . At the end the priest gathers, Henry ( Maria shows up and they end up killing her ) and Jonathan go after Dracula to get MIna back with an army of people. The priest finds Vlad and tells Vlad I am here to save you and that by killing himself he frees everyone once bitten and he free'd Mina's soul from damnation which he is her damnation. Vlad realizes this. He decides amongst the chaos of war they brought to him after many died that he will let the priest kill him to save her soul and then he does. It ends with Mina crying over his ashes and Jonathan seeing it realizing she will never love him the way she loved Dracula and walks away. Vlad's ashes lift and blow out the window and up to the sky as everyone exists the castle you see several children covered in white paint walking out looking gray almost and I assume it was what the Gargoyles were before they were turned. They were free'd as well. 

It is a true love story and I would say for me it was a solid 8/10 would watch again!!

Iron lung By Markiplier 2026 Short review and no spoilers

 

Hey Guys we are here to talk about something that is beyond what i could have ever expected. First we will discuss the movie and then we will discuss the future here. The revelation that has happened in Cinema as we know it. The changing of an Era...the Downfall of Hollywood.

First off lets go over the plot of the movie. 

ron Lung is a 2026 American science fiction horror film written and directed by Mark Fischbach in his feature directorial debut. It is based on the 2022 video game by David Szymanski. The film stars Fischbach, Caroline Rose Kaplan, Troy Baker, Elsie Lovelock, Elle LaMont, Seán McLoughlin, and Isaac McKee. The plot follows a convict named Simon (Fischbach) who is forced to pilot a submarine through a desolate moon's ocean of blood, after an event known as the Quiet Rapture caused the majority of humanity and all stars to disappear without warning. ( Taken from Wiki) 

It is set in the future after and event called the silent rapture happened where it had cut all contact with anyone else out there. All planets and stars have disappeared and the only people remaining are the ones who were on space stations or ships.A man named Simon ( played by Mark ) had been imprisoned for being involved in the destruction of a space station called Filament Station. He swears it was not suppose to happen and he did not destroy anything. His punishment is testing out a submarine ( they called the Iron Lung ) in which you are welded in shut to go down and explore this ocean of blood on a moon called AT-5. If he does this and completes his task they told him he will have earned his freedom. 

That is the plot and to be honest for me.... i actually like the plot it is interesting.

This movie to me was unique in every way. It was all different emotions , you never knew what was actually happening as if you were going a little crazy as Simon did. The visuals were bloody stunning and cinematic value was incredible. For someone who had a vision and self produced, filmed, and created all on a 3 mil budget ..... he did a great job. It was exciting too to watch because I wanted to know what this thing was the entire time. I give it a 7.5 / 10 and I say that in its most solid form!!! It is worth the watch and Marks acting was a 8/10 I think he did so good in this. Not a horror movie other than lots of blood but I saw it more of a Scifi and thriller to be honest. 

Mark, lets talk about him for a second. He has managed to do something Hollywood could never do. He made a movie without a Hollywood formula creating the #1 movie on the charts above Disney and Sam Rami. He gave Hollywood the middle finger and said I don't need you I can do this and I want to do this on my own. He did it all and made Hollywood angry because he didn't need any of them. Good for you Mark you did it. I have been watching you since day one and I am so happy to see your journey and though you may never read this...everything you have done was inspiring to a lot of us small creators who may have been giving up on their dreams. You literally changed that mindset when you released this movie. Thank you and congrats !

Iron Lung 2026 Review ( long version and spoilers )

 

Hey Guys we are here to talk about something that is beyond what i could have ever expected. First we will discuss the movie and then we will discuss the future here. The revelation that has happened in Cinema as we know it. The changing of an Era...the Downfall of Hollywood.

The film stars Fischbach, Caroline Rose Kaplan, Troy Baker, Elsie Lovelock, Elle LaMont, Seán McLoughlin, and Isaac McKee. The plot follows a convict named Simon (Fischbach) who is forced to pilot a submarine through a desolate moon's ocean of blood, after an event known as the Quiet Rapture caused the majority of humanity and all stars to disappear without warning. ( Taken from Wiki) 

It is set in the future after and event called the silent rapture happened where it had cut all contact with anyone else out there. All planets and stars have disappeared and the only people remaining are the ones who were on space stations or ships. A man named Simon ( played by Mark ) had been imprisoned for being involved in the destruction of a space station called Filament Station. He swears it was not suppose to happen and he did not destroy anything. His punishment is testing out a submarine ( they called the Iron Lung ) in which you are welded in shut to go down and explore this ocean of blood on a moon called AT-5. If he does this and completes his task they told him he will have earned his freedom. 

That is the plot and to be honest for me.... i actually like the plot it is interesting.

Now lets get to the story part of it all. Ava the Crew Commander ( played by Caroline Rose Kaplan)  is the one who sends Simon down into the Ocean of Blood and is speaking to him while he is down there. Simon is then sent down to take xrays of the blood ocean and upon taking these xrays while traveling to different locations in the Ocean the ship indicates something outside ( beep beep beep goes the yellow light on his dashboard ) he takes and xray which he then discovers a skeleton. He tell the people who sent him down about it and they bring him back up only to tell him he is welded in and they can't risk losing a sample of the skeleton so he needs to go back down there and get a sample of the skeleton so they can see what it is all about. Of course Simon is getting distraught. You can see the fear in his eyes and the pain in his eyes as he asks too be let out and that he did what they asked already and that again he didn't do anything and he is sorry for everything . However they refused to let him out so in a fit of rage he activates the xray and unfortunately radiates the facility and it harms most of the crew members that were in the area with radiation including the Main Crew Commander. So they are mad at him for that and clearly he did not know that by hitting that it would do that and he feels so bad about it. They didn't tell him about the radiation. He didn't want to hurt anyone he just wanted out. 

He gets sent back down and then joining the speaker to assist Mark is a new Crew Commander Named Jack ( Played by Seán McLoughlin aka Jacksepticeye) who works Under Ava ( the first crew commander ) He takes place for Ava and the mechanic who was helping in the beginning David ( Played by Troy Baker ). anyways, they send him back down when he discovers not only is there something going on down there. They had been telling Simon he is the only one and the first one they have sent down there only to discover no he wasn't. He found hidden audio logs that started to download onto his computer once he discovered there was another ship out there wrecked..obviously he is not the only one they have sent down there. He tries to tell the commander that he found a living creature down there and there are photos as well but she tells him to ram the skeleton and get the sample so... he does knocking him back and unconcious. When he awakens he sees photos of movement outside the sub. He also starts hallucinating

thinking he is seeing and hearing people that aren't actually there . It starts to drive him crazy. he repairs the submarine and gets it back on track by going underneath a panel into a crawl space and crawling back and resetting the engine and restarting everything.This whole time he had been telling them something is out there. He was even hearing someone else from inside. he hit the speaker and broke it or so he thought, he damaged his arm and happened to find a small medical supply and got the wraps it and wrapped his wounds. He taped the camera button so it would take the photos for him. All while this ship is slowly leaking inside. Ava tells him to go find the other wrecked submarine and download the data and that this mission is bigger then them it is most important in saving the world.  When gets back to the sub he begins hearing a woman talking about how she is alive and inside a light that Godlike. This plasma bloody looking stuff keeps seeping into the various cracks in the sub as looks up says you can't be real I broke the speaker....turns out he did...

He had a vision where the sub is destroyed, Simon breaks the surface to see a giant eye filling a storm in   red sky. Simon awakes again, and the commander says he has been missing for several days, far longer than his oxygen supply should have lasted. She tells him to recover SM-8's data, promising to rescue him herself if he complies, as well as revealing her name to be Ava. She tells him that what he is doing is bigger then them both and this is the most important thing he could do for everyone. He needs to get that data from the other ship and she will meet him down there and pick him up herself. To retrieve everything and him. She gives him 30 minutes and so he decides ok i'll do it and heads back to the spot. The sub filling more and more now as  he reaches the wrecked sub and starts downloading everything finding out the blood ocean contains human blood. After Simon finds out Ava can not save him and that she is so sorry and that he needs to protect the little black box with the data downloaded into it. As he is hearing her he also hears the woman's voice again saying to destroy the information and that no one should know about the Godlike light at the bottom of the ocean. 

Soon after hearing that the creature ,that has been kinda terrorizing Simon through this whole thing, destroys Ava's vessel she went down there in and at that moment Simon struggling to walk through the bloody goo mess that is leaking into his ship and his arms how being consumed and what looks like bloody veins or best way to describe it...the venom symbiote is becoming one with Simon...in this case the symbiote is a gooey blood mess.  He breaks away from it long enough to tie the black box to a life vest he found with the Medical supplies and then manages to sabotage the submarine so that it would implode. As the creature bites down on his submarine killing Simon and itself from the pressure the vest manages to make it through. It floats to the surface of the blood ocean. The end !!

This movie to me was unique in every way. It was all different emotions , you never knew what was actually happening as if you were going a little crazy as Simon did. The visuals were bloody stunning and cinematic value was incredible. For someone who had a vision and self produced, fill=med, and created all on a 3 mil budget ..... he did a great job. It was exciting too to watch because I wanted to know what this thing was the entire time.

MArk, lets talk about him for a second. He has managed to do something Hollywood could never do. He made a movie without a Hollywood formula creating the #1 movie on the charts above Disney and Sam Rami. He gave Hollywood the middle finger and said I don't need you I can do this and I want to do this on my own. He did it all and made Hollywood angry because he didn't need any of them. Good for you Mark you did it.

Good Boy Movie review

 

Good Boy is a 2025 American supernatural horror film directed by Ben Leonberg. It stars Leonberg's own Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever dog, Indy, in the leading role as himself, with Shane Jensen, Arielle Friedman, and Larry Fessenden in supporting roles. Primarily set in a rural woodland house, Good Boy follows Indy and his owner, Todd (Jensen), a young man with a chronic lung disease, as they move into Todd's late grandfather's rural home, where a malevolent supernatural presence gradually engulfs Todd, while his devoted dog attempts to rescue him.

OK this was an interesting one and a review that doesn't really need a very long review. I could tell you everything that happens in this movie but honestly it is something you have to see. It follows Indy who really is a good boy. He is devoted, loving, caring pup who would do anything for his owner. As his owner declines he gets a bit meaner and consumed by his disease. Meanwhile Indy see's the melevolent spirit that is following his master and messing with him. This spirit is  what seems to be as possessing his owner. He can't stop it even though he tries to hard. He is with his owner every step of the way. His owner starts being taken over by the spirit and starts getting upset with Indy and then one time he grabs Indy and holds him as he does the spirit tricks him and scares him and he ends up biting his owner. His owner takes him outside to make him sleep out there as punishment. Indy isnt doing good because he sees his owner int he window and hears him coughing and grunting and he ends up being taunted in his house by the spirit and then he finally breaks free and runs up stairs and tries to find his owner. 

His owner finds him and grabs him holding him and loving on him and then we find out as he is drug down to the basement by the spirit that his owner is dead. He is trying to protect Indy even as a spirit by telling him to run and get away. Indy just can't and he stays. You see a dog that looks like it could have been indy but it was the previous owners dog's bones by the basement door leading to the outside. Indy ends up laying down in the basment waiting for his pwner that has passed away. The next day the sister of the owner comes to the house to check and finds her brother dead and searches finding Indy. He leaves reluctantly with her and thats the end. You do see alot of things here and there of the previous owner who lived their which was his granfather who apparently was killed by the same spirit and had a dog just like Indy as well. Indy sees all this stuuf all the visions and everything else.

Here is my takes on it.

The movie made me think so many different things but the one thing i kept thinking about it how this movie is a big symbolism on how cancers, diseases and sickness in general takes over and destroys you from the inside out as if you were being possesed and taken by an evil spirit. That and when it happens how and what the animals and loved ones go through when it happens. I loved this movie. It was a thinker and yes i cried several times in sadness for the dog and the owner. Heck i even feel bad for the sister who clearly loves her brother very much. This dog is a better actor then most of the human actors i have ever seen. The emotions that dog was able to protray was so amaizng i felt them. the movie was 8/10 it was suspenseful, a few jumpscares and a great cinematically shot film. I enjoyed this movie and i think it is worth watching!!

Black Phone2 Shorter no spoilers version

 

Synopsis:::  The story sees siblings Finney and Gwen, along with their friend Ernesto, head to a winter youth camp to uncover a mystery regarding the first victims of the Grabber, whose ghostly presence now haunts the camp.

OK WHAO ....this is the first thing i can say !! I am not gunna lie i am starting to believe that Blumhouse is becoming my favorite production company! This one is virtually nothing like the 1st one. I will say it puts a twist and spin on everything that you wouldn't expect. We learn alot about the grabbers past and it includes his real name and origin. It focuses mostly on the sister Gwen, her boy interest Ernesto, and her brother Finney. In 1982, four years after Finney killed the Grabber, his sister Gwen begins having dreams where she sees murders that happened at Alpine Lake Camp in 1957. Finney, Gwen, Ernesto Gwens love interest head to the campsite to be counselors and of course to Investigate the Camp, their mom and the history, and the grabber!!

Jason Blum i would love to meet you. This movie didnt have to over sexualize anything, they gave you suspense, thrills, chills, jumpscares, depth, great character development and a new story that connects to the previous story so well. It gives us what we wanted to know for the most part about the history and origins of the Grabber. The only thing it never answered or maybe i missed was....why did the Grabber do what he did??? Why?? I just want to know that lol. The acting was well done and I thoroughly enjoyed this one way more than i did the 1st one and i thought that was pretty good too. I give it an 8/10. It is solid and i think 100 percent Worth it !!!
