Directed by Robert Eggers, holy fuck its got extra gothic on its gothic gilded gothic.
The attention to detail and the german occultism almost beats out Coppola's Dracula from 1992 and I saw that on opening night on acid. Who needs weird metal head cages when you have Lily-Rose Depp's appalling vulnerability, Willem Dafoe's everything, and Simon McBurney's willingness to bite the head off a pigeon wtf. Does not quite beat the bat scene from Shadow of the Vampire.
Graphic, jumpscares, grotesque, gorgeous, overwhelming. Watch at own risk.
