Far from it!
It has no resemblance to any believable vampire whatsoever... It's kind of a messy get-together of vampires, bats, gargoyles, balrogs or whatever monsters you can think... in a scale that is only unbelievable and clumsy. Just think of bat-like humans and you're on your way to true vampireship... it's a lot scarier anyway.  Even if I don't exactly applaud the movie of the League of the Extraordinary Gentlemen (or whatever it was in English) the scene where the vampire-woman showed why no one needed to protect her by killing very suddenly the guy who was threatening her was something I liked a lot. It had something like a vampire-feeling in it. Neat and sneaky but at the same time over-aggressive and scary... vampirish in short. Scary, not the imbecile fantasy-stereotype which always goes for the lowest common denominator. People would not have feared of vampires through ages around the Western world if they weren't actually terrible - and believable...
