    Wow, incredible film. I never need to watch it again.
    Genuinely thought I was going to have a panic for about an hour of it. The way is somehow manages to one up it's stress and tension 7 trillion times a minute is honestly masterful.

    Anyway, watch this if you want to know how anxiety feels.

    I don't know what to say about this. Like Bug from the characters perspective.
    Some kind of deranged psychosis trip of a tortured novelist. The film effortlessly puts you into the mindset of the protagonist with claustrophobic sets and camera work, a totally insane jazz score and brilliant but gory practical effects throughout.

    I loved it although it felt like an immense mental effort to get through. I think this one needs a rewatch at some stage when I feel I have the strength to do it.

    Definitely the best of the mediocre lovecraft films I've watched as of late. Incredibly beautiful, amazing attempt at an adaptation of the lovecraft mythos. This one was honestly not really mediocre at all, I really loved it.
    Definitely a must watch for lovecraft fans!!

    Really solid overall. Pretty average plot and average writing/dialogue. But Nick Cage is a spectacular dracula and the action scenes are fun to watch!

    I will say the narration adds nothing to the story and kinda cheapens it for me although it's obviously a stylistic choice but I think it's just unnecessary exposition.
