#but yes as I've thought about it i rescind my statement that the 3rd act establishing action was clunky. it does drag on for a bit tho

What am I saying, Dan Stevens being the final boss was perfectly set up for being a twist villain.

He was a complete asshole from moment 1 with barely any redeeming qualities (affectionate), established he was power hungry with his decision to outright join the criminal organizations he was supposed to monitor because he liked the lawless nature of it all, and top it off, all his plans in the movie fail whereas most of Joey's succeed, so you have petty resentment on top of all of it. Him becoming a vampire and going full sadistic monster mode and try to torture/kill Joey and Abigail make complete sense, it isn't clunky at all PAST ME.

And he's hot. Blame it on pre-existing bias from The Guest but he plays a hot villain
