An Awful 2014 Vampire Flick Is Surging Up Netflix’s Top 10 Movies List
Dracula Untold Flies Up the Netflix Top 10
Without much rhyme or reason, Dracula Untold, a 2014 retelling of the iconic vampire story starring Luke Evans as the eponymous blood-sucker, currently sits at #3 on Netflix’s worldwide movies chart, as perFlixPatrol.
Taking a look at some of the movies below it, it’s hard to deduce exactlywhyDracula Untold is proving so popular. The likes of Minions: The Rise of Gru and Get Out both grossed more than Dracula Untold’s$217 millionworldwide gross and have a higher IMDb rating than thehorror flick’s 6.2.
That said, there’s also a high likelihood that Dracula Untold’s newfound popularity is the result of one of 2024’s biggest movie flops: Madame Web. The ill-fated Spider-Man spin-off is one of the year’s most notorious bombs, spawning countless memes. Surely, it’s no coincidence that Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless were two of the screenwriters on that film, and – you guessed it – they wrote Dracula Untold, too.
Of course, not every Netflix viewer is going to deep-dive into a movie’s screenwriters before checking it out, but it’s certainly amusing that Dracula Untold is experiencing a second wind in the year of Madame Web. Whether the 2014 film will gain a similar level of meme immortalization remains to be seen, but we’re certainly here for it.
