It's 1476 in Wallachia. The Church has killed Dracula's wife, burning her as a witch. The count has sworn revenge by releasing an army of demons on the countryside. Trevor Belmont, of the renowned monster hunter family, vows to destroy Vlad. But to do so, he will require help from an unlikely source . . .
Having enjoyed several releases in the Castlevania video game line, I was intrigued to see Netflix release a 4-episode Castlevania animated series. It was okay. The art was good, and I was drawn into the story. On the downside, it was horribly violent and profane in places (it's rated M), and not much happens in four episodes . . . it felt more like a long introduction, with the meat of the story to come. To that end, they've agreed to produce eight more episodes. I think I'll check them out.
Rating: B-
