That's Peta Wilson as Mina Harker, not a vampire in the book or the comic the movie's based on, but inexplicably one in the film.It's certainly a logical possibility. Dracula was in the process of making her his vampire bride when Van Helsing et al broke in on them and he spirited himself away to Transylvania... what happened to Mina after the novel *is* supposition, but I wouldn't say it was inexplicable. Think of it as 'Elsewhere' or 'What if?' for the Victorian set.
I have issues with the film, most based on the editing and the extreme creative license the writers took with the literary characters, though there were also some character motivational inconsistencies that got on my nerves.I can understand that, but for the most part, the liberties they took worked for the film. For the most part, I think the actors did a good job for what they had to work with.
Course, there are plenty of things plotwise that I had problems with, but that's another story.
I won't be buying this, but I think it will do well on the rental market. It isn't nearly as bad as some people make it out to be...
