    This is a great modern retelling of a classic, and Eggers digs into the gothic aesthetic of late 1800s northern Germany/Transylvania with great appetite and ability.

All the performances kicked ass but when Dafoe appears there was an audible cheer in my theatre. Really happy about the excitement this film has generated
