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.
This is why I love it so much. I’m from the Balkans, we birthed vampire lore. This movie took care to include so many elements of traditions and tales. I loved it so much.
