I started this with the right attitude, but it was clear early I wasn’t going to enjoy this and that’s fine I’m not the target audience. Yet, there were still some issues I had with it outside of it not being my preferred movie.
To start, I think this is the worst color grade I’ve seen to a major movie like this. It’s baffling to think this was Chu’s vision for the look of the film. I’m curious if they…

Now I just need to find a video of Bill Skarsgard’s makeup routine for Orlok.
