Love me some Gothic horror and god damned if I wasn’t satisfied. Gorgeous, had a bit of fun addressing some of the more problematic trappings of the genre in how it treats women.
Remade some of the amazing shots from the original film, maintained a fantastic creeping horror and dread, lots of truly disgusting practical effects, and some original and well realised additions.
Absolutely fab.
If he was really determined to travel by ship for part of the journey the Danube river runs pretty far. It doesn’t run through Transylvania, though, so he would need to get to the river first.
But it’s a coastal city, and he comes there by ocean. It can’t be the danube which would make sense. He’d need to either travel through Russia and take a boat from the black sea ports or go down through the balkans and take a boat from there to Germany. Either way he has to cross all of the Mediterranean a bit of the Atlantic, and apparently sail through the north sea pointed vaguely in the direction of Germany based on the last bit of the journey being at high seas (Going the long way around great britain instead of through the channel?)?!
Or do we combine the two and he takes the danube to the black sea, and then the river boat also takes the long way around?!
I guess you could argue travel by sea is safer for a being who can’t be exposed to daylight
Probably right that it was a narrative oversight.
You’re absolutely right, it’s clearly on the ocean. The film is just dumb haha
I wouldn’t call it dumb. It’s because it’s just an adaption of a ship going to England but nameswapped to Germany. The story is still good. It’s just that my brain is bad
noticing things is actually brain being good tho
