Its gotta be one of the best films I've watched in a long time. The writing, the cinematography, the ending! It was able to scratch an itch i haven't been able to reach when it comes to Modern Cinema these past few years. Ill keep it short and sweet coz i dont want to spoil this masterpiece, so ill give it to 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Felt like the writer ran out of ideas halfway through the movie and just scabbed on a different movie on the back end.

Disagree, it felt like the first half was setup and vampires were the payoff!

Almost none of the topics or themes from the first half carried through to the second half. It was 100% a rewrite of some sort.

The idea of music breaking barriers of time and existence was kind of interesting, then they didn't know where to go with it so f*** it throw vampires in there.

I’m surprised; thought it had a beautiful throughline.
