    Watchable but mediocre film
    The film is watchable, but it isn't very good. It's a mashup between a modern-day gothic horror and patriarchal vampire film set in the UK. Not sure why the UK, I think Romania would have been more appropriate setting. The Castle/Mansion is bright white on the outside, But entirely painted entirely black indoors

    The actors' dialogs have some unnecessary xenophobe lines and that does not contribute to the story and distracts from the main film. They threw win some bigoted innuendos and girl power independence feminist drivel which seems to be standard faire now a days. The film is entirely predictable which makes it feel slower than it should be.
