I don't think the concept of an ensemble horror had really been honed at this time (before slashers became a popular genre) and the attitudes of the characters are also quite dated. Even once the action ramped up I was still lost as didn't feel like I had a sense of the characters to pin the action to.
I'm also a bit disappointed as this is an homage to one of my favourite books, Dracula, and Dracula it is not!
I would like to try another Stephen King but perhaps one where the plot is more straightforward.
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Infidelity, Animal cruelty, and Pedophilia
