This could be linked to the Tornado in Kansas that caused people to leave their homes due to a natural phenomenon and this is central to the storyline of the film. Also the mass murders of many Americans by a South Korean Student may have also contributed to the storyline.

It’s the era of the Rom Coms so films were being constantly made with a romantic feel to them. Most films targeted at teens were romanticised and supernatural powers in films were a huge phenomenon as this led to new sci fi films and action films.

Also the idea of rationing the blood out in order to survive makes the film unique too.

It’s based on a historical figure of Vlad the Impaler and it has only one master vampire in it. It is about one man protecting his family and his town from the oppressive ruler and is essentially based around historic events.

This was the year where conflict between the European Union and Britain began due to the oppressive nature of the EU who forced laws and ideals on Britain, similar to the Turkish and Transylvanian conflict over the laws and ideals. The idea of a leader doing the right things for the country is meant to be a symbolic representation of Obama to highlight the faults in the British government, especially David Cameron.
