About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a foggy, old-school Gothic horror with vampires, a cursed outsider, and a dreamy, sometimes slow vibe; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear action, or heavy gore like Contamination.
Pros: thick Gothic atmosphere; spooky castle setting; fun monster mash | Cons: slow pacing; murky lighting at times; underwhelming showdown
