  • Not Really a Horror Movie, Maybe Vampire Thriller?

    This movie, while stunning with the gothic settings and fine attention to detail of the costumes — which reminded me of the OG, Interview with a Vampire, it definitely isn’t a horror movie. Maybe a vampire thriller with a touch of psychological suspense, but the Buffy series and the last two Twilight movies could qualify more as horror movies than this. Maybe 30 minutes into the move the big vampire surprise plot could easily be guessed, and a huge plot hole exists with the reason why… (SPOILERS) …the groom requires 3 brides from these 3 specific families. What is so special about them as mortals aside from the ancient pact? Also, how they explained the ‘turning’ was flawed because at the end, Evie, is commented by her friend as being a vampire with her holding a bat as Oliver hangs up the phone noting she’s mortal. Although we haven’t confirmed 1. Is Walter still alive? 2. Did she feed after drinking his blood to complete the transformation? 3. If Walter is dead, but she already fed beforehand is she still a vampire? The movie, again, while visually was stunning and put you into a fantasy estate in the English countryside — is less of a horror movie and more of a vampire film that fell flat with plot holes of the cohesiveness to the lore. 4/5 just because it was visually well-done. If it were a kid getting graded on a test, 75%. Solid C, great casting but poor script.

    I’ve had my fair share of vampire movies that were good or bad but this was alright. The main issue I have for this movie was that it was just too slow building up to the climax of the story. Whoever said that this movie is a form of racial discrimination, this doesn’t have any of that in their and we have to remember that this is the modern day and if you choose to live in the past then you’re going to fall off the wrong path. The bottom point is, you can choose whether you want to watch this movie or not (even if you are a fan of the vampire franchises) that is up to you but please don’t promote any form of hate in this community because that’s something you should keep to yourself while the rest of us don’t want to hear that.

    It’s a gothic horror and it was done well. I’m not getting the “woke & racist” comments. I watched the movie and was entertained.
  • It’s fine.

    Not sure what is making people so enraged about this movie. It’s a gothic horror. Honestly it’s more about class than race. If you switched out the main actress for a fully white actress, I think people would realize that. Not sure why people are freaking out and saying some pretty racist things. I think they’re probably who are mad about the people of color in Bridgerton. It’s worth at least a rent. Probably a purchase, if you really like gothic horror. Is it the world’s greatest movie? No. Is it trying to be? No.

    The title says it all. The movie starts off at a snail’s pace, and then it fizzles out before you can even warm your toes. Epic failure in my opinion, full of bad acting, and dark lighting.
  • Great gothic horror

    The main actress is awesome but even she couldn’t save this movie from It’s predictable and boring plot line. Every twist is telegraphed and copy pasted from better movies. Wait for streaming
