    I like a bit of ultraviolence in a film. However when you go down the road of ultraviolence being the core of your film you may want to stop attempting to make a flimsy romantic relationship a priority. It felt like a reminder every 10 minutes he’s avenging his murdered wife. Kinda got the picture when they actually killed her.

    ★★★½

    A huge body count and an intense amount of action. A POV ADHD adrenaline rush.

    ★★

    Possibly the least sexy vampire film I have ever seen. In that sense truly original. Love flirting with obsession in vampiric intensity, however is a cliche that's becoming too dull. Now I am not suggesting every film needs to excel in originality, but when this dramatic pretentiousness is pretending a different outcome to the genre - and I see a lot are agreeing to that so maybe I am wrong - I am putting hopes on an original masterpiece and not just a cliche with the arrogance of being more than that.

    On a vocal note I did like this Nosferatu-being. I'm all for lung-covid vamps.

    There’s not a lot that can beat smashing a pick axe into someone’s mouth and find it coming out through the eye socket pushing out an eyeball on the way. Happy valentine’s day all the way!
