Re: Movies that SHOULD be remade

It sounds like you haven't read actually read the book. If you're referring to Mina (because when Lucy dies, the main characters have NO knowledge of vampires or vampirism until Lucy falls gravely ill and Van Helsing is summoned, and Jonathan was not present for that), then she doesn't have "cuts on her neck". The fact that she's tired isn't very alarming-- they're ALL tired from trying to track down Dracula, and Mina is dealing both with the death of her closest friend and a recovering invalid husband, so being tired isn't a huge red flag.

I've read the book but it was a long time ago, so perhaps I'm misremembering it. I just remember the foreshadowing being far too blatant and also distinctly remarked on by the main characters. Which is not a great combo.

nayrt - I read it not too long ago and recall there are definitely hints that something's going on, but they're not like you describe. No marks are ever found on Mina's neck. She has a very vivid, menacing dream that's definitely foreshadowing, but one, considering what she's been through and what materials she's transcribed from Dr. Seward's journal, that's not very strange and two, she doesn't tell anyone about it. She only mentions to Seward that she hasn't been sleeping well and requests a sleeping draught.

None of that is a particularly obvious clue that screams "OMG VAMPIRE!", so you can't really blame the other characters for being stupid. Even with what happened to Lucy, vampirism is still a very new, bizarre experience for everyone except Van Helsing. It's as if you discovered tomorrow that aliens really are visiting earth in flying saucers and have been for centuries in human disguise, and someone calling you stupid because you can't immediately identify one.
