“A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.” For me this really nailed the tone and vibe. Bill Skarsgård is completely unrecognizable, and does something that I really didn’t know he could do. There is a character choice with Count Orlok that I questioned the entire movie and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. There’s also an over acting aspect to this, but almost like the source material calls for it. There’s almost does seem like something was missing but can’t quite put my finger on it, and still very much enjoyed this.

“Nebraska City, 1991, two best friends get the chance to run the swimming pool snack shack, that later comes to be the perfect scenario for transgression, fun, personal discovery and romance.” This is the most I have felt for characters in a movie in a longtime. Absolutely loved it and one of my favorites of the year. Funny, heartfelt, and just genuinely great. It’s also funny to hear the main character called a shit pig for the entire movie. Watched on Prime.

“An angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.” Overall this is good, but I definitely like the second half more than the first. The first half needs 20 minutes cut out and it would be great. That aside, the premise feels very modern and completely works. I was surprised this hadn’t been remade, but apparently that is development as of this year. Watched on Prime.
