Oh very much historically inaccurate. They took a lot of liberties, but I viewed it like a DC comic or movie that has 'elseworld' takes on the main character. I will say this about the movie, it is hella fun for entertainment, and not a bad story, liberties taken aside.
Vampires
"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"
Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

I recently watched Shadow of the Vampire, which asked the question "What if Max Shreck was a real vampire during the filming of Nosferatu (1922)?"
An interesting premise, but it really bothered me that Shadow of the Vampire pretended that all of Shreck's scenes were filmed at night. When you watch Nosferatu's "nighttime" scenes with Count Orlock, you can clearly see him casting a daylight shadow. Afterwards, they tinted the scenes blue to simulate moonlight.
This was originally a book, written in a journal style. It was alright.
I think Pride & Prejudice & Zombies worked better. Also, from what I remember, I feel like that movie did a better job of integrating zombies into the story than this movie did with vampires. So I think this movie was also "alright", much like its source material.
