Good interpretation
7 September 2023
Worth a look. Great cinemarogtaphy...that really stood out for me. The cast and acting solid. Something just doesn't grab me. I do know the backstory very well, being a Nosferatu fan but the tension doesn't quite get there, though it is a very bleak story that most know "doesnt end well".

Sometimes the CGI is a little wonky but the set direction and storyline (though almost too familiar) are all good. I think maybe it's the feel that it's trying to be something it can't be. It's comes off, atmospherically a little Hollywood (though it's not) with the big score, grandiose production feel and summer release, I think it would have better suited as a smaller, folk horror presentation, not unlike Trollhunter, with less of the orchestral/large screen direction it chose. Less is more...
