About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sophisticated, gothic vampire story with period glamour and an interview-style narrative, but Not for you if you dislike heavy blood and gore or prefer lighter, more action-forward vampire fare like Let Me In or The Lost Boys.
Pros: lush gothic atmosphere; lavish period details; engaging vampire tale | Cons: dated storytelling; lots of blood; acting splits opinions
