Our Curator, Kim Newman says – A sweet, inventive, gag-fest with amusing rethinks of the classic monsters. A widowed Count Dracula (Adam Sandler, doing Bela Lugosi) founds a hotel for monsters in order to protect his kind – and, specifically, his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez), from the world of torch-bearing, stake-brandishing humans outside. The vampire king – Sandler uses flashes of his manic rage very well – alternately tries to keep control of his daughter and let her become her own person. A nice development has the monsters finally leave the hotel to find Transylvania they aren’t hated any more and have become a tourist attraction, keying in to the general affection we have for these movie-made creatures.
