Greetings friends
Today we will discuss Netflix’s Castlevania, an animated dark fantasy Television series. It was originally a video game made by Konami, written by Warren Ellis, and produced by Frederator Studios’s Kevin Kolde and Fred Seibert. The show has about four seasons and is loosely based on two of the games.
The show cost was 90 thousand to 150 thousand dollars to make. The setting of the series takes place in the 1400’s-1500’s in Europe, we enter the tale of Dracula. Who falls in love with a human woman and have a son, Alucard. The church during this time period was rather evil and would have the wife burned at the stake for believing that she was a witch. The people and the church would not know the hell that they would unleash upon themselves as Dracula in his anger would lead an army of vampires and all kinds of creatures to attack humanity.
During this time, we would also meet Trevor Belmont, who is the last of his clan of monster hunters. Trevor would clash heads with the church and its leader a lot. He would also meet Sypha, who is a speaker who practices magic. The two would awaken Alucard from his hiding place and kill Dracula. There would be some rather unforeseen problems would arise after Dracula’s Death; Alucard would stay and protect the Belmont home while the others would go and travel to hunt monsters and stop someone from bringing Dracula’s return. There were other vampires that we after Dracula’s power and wanted to rule the world.
Trevor and Sypha would travel to a town where they would take down a cult that was trying to return Dracula to the world of the living.The cult was stopped with the help of Saint Germain, who was able to stop a door to hell from opening. In the later seasons, the two would end up, where the whole horror show began and helped the people deal with a vampire that was in a hurry to return Dracula.
A vampire army would attack the old castle that Alucard was holding up. One of the vampires, Varney was Death, he would use Saint Geramain’s knowledge of magic to open a rather large door to hell. The three heroes would defend the castle, Trevor would battle Death.
After a rather long duel with the creature, the show ends on a odd note. That being that both Dracula and his wife were somewhere in the world of the living in hiding. In my opinion of this show it is a rather good adaption of the game with a cast of colorful characters and action. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is either a long-time Castlevania fan or someone who would be interested in it.
