Everything you said I agree on.

However for me, it’s just beautiful and just art. I can appreciate for what it is. The script and story fell flat though. The end had me saying ”That’s it, that’s all?”. With all that crazy weirdness to it, a sort of substance were missing. It did not move me or leave a mark, except some gross scenes lol.
 

 

er... okay, maybe? but like this is a hundred year's old history..... there's literally nothing more to go on...

Perfect in every way. I see no issue with the story like some are commenting.

The discourse on this film is annoying because I've seen so many people say "it's not for everyone because it's slow and gothic"

I personally LOVE a slow burn and gothic imagery, and I thought the movie really delivered on that.  What disappointed me was the story.

While I understand that it's based off the book and the 1922 silent film, I don't think redoing the plot with extra frills was the way to go.  The implications of the story are antiquated, at best.  And even when the film tries to curve a lot of the misogyny by highlighting the absurdity of the time period's sexism (i.e. "she must wear her corset to ease her womb") or by trying to slightly elevate the female lead above "damsel in distress" (i.e. "priestess of Isis"), the story itself doesn't have much to say in the end.  I mean, what really was the message or heart of the story, and how does that message tie into contemporary times?

All in all, the movie tried to be/look/feel smart, but in actuality came out with not much to say aside from "scary vampire in scary castle brings plague and chases after a lady".

I agree with both of y’all!

Loved it!! I was able to go to an early Friday the 13th screening and got to see a Q&A with main cast and Eggers in person. I also got to to that experience at the Hollywood Cemetery. So I've been obsessed since. I wasn't prepared for how popular the movie has gotten. I mean Eggers work hasn't been this mainstream but I am happy so much more are seeing it. I think people who are unfamiliar with the story don't take into consideration that it's what a 100 year old story based on silent movie and even before that it was Dracula. So the critiques on the story are not this movie because he stayed true to that previous one.

Plus the story of Dracula is one of my all time favourites and I was happy to just see the typical story done again but in his style cuz he still added so much to it visually.

You got me there.... I love to see a new dracula take when I can!  Vampires in general are my favs, along with witches hehe
