About
You may like this if you enjoy eerie, artful mood pieces with surreal romance and minimal plot, somewhat in the vein of Black Moon or The Shiver of the Vampires; Not for you if you want fast pacing or clear scares.
Pros: haunting cemetery atmosphere; dreamlike, gothic mood; memorable surreal imagery | Cons: very thin plot; extremely slow pace; little traditional horror
