No, Nury doesn’t pull it off or even right the course. Instead, he uses the lovely plot device of possession to utterly confound and get a visually effective conclusion. It’s never clear, not once, how the vampires work in this story–or why they have to be the Dracula brothers, other than for effect and it’s…
