Bram Stoker's Dracula

No matter how grinding and dull the story gets, we are, genuinely, never more than about 45 seconds away from some eye-popping visual.

cool set design, cool costumes, cool effects, fucking toilet movie nearly bored me to tears

I know Nosferatu (2024) wouldn't be as it is without various other preceding films, but I have to say watching them all just makes me love Robert Eggers' vision/version that much more. The direction is great, although very tricky to follow. The casting is... I mean, apart from Gary Oldman, who always gives a spotlight-worthy performance, I couldn't see other characters past their actors. The production, design, makeup and cinematography were all beautifully dreamlike, bordering on nightmare, as were the sound design and score. All in all, I wouldn't say it's the best reinterpretation, but it makes sense as to why it's hailed as one.

Watching how this story balances its horror and romance elements and intertwines them in a coherent way makes for a very satisfying experience in this forbidden love tragedy played out, partly by also giving us a lens to see Dracula’s motivations. The horror can surprise you out…

OMGGGG GARY OLDMAN🤤 everything about this movie wonderful and beautiful I ADOREDDD it and Winona as always did phenomenal
