REVIEW: No one was begging for a minor bit in 'Dracula' to get the full-blown feature treatment, but it’s certainly the classiest, creepiest late-summer counterprogramming.
feels like you’re watching some sort of dare — “I dare you to take these three pages and make a movie out of them!” — or a footnote etched with stretch marks from being pulled as far as it can go into action-territory, that’s because it’s 2023 and even the dust in the I.P. corners are fair game. Will those who find the mustiest pieces of horror-lit lore dig this more than those just pining for a halfway decent jump scare? Probably.
But this is also the type of project that manages to lift itself up above the fray by sheer will and chops, not to mention its determination to scratch a throwback-genre itch.is a threadbare high-concept story given the high-thread-count treatment — a lovely piece of luxury pulp. It’s also the creepiest and classiest bit of late-summer counterprogramming you’re likely to find, which may say more about our current landscape of cinematic pleasures than the movie itself.
