falling-sideways

I enjoyed the movie. The first two thirds were really good, I'd give it an 8. The slow building tension, the acting was spot on. I was actually impressed with Krsy Fox's performance. Heather Langenkamp's performance was my favourite, she has a limited role but she makes it so memorable. The pace of the slow boil was good in my opinion. It wasn't so slow that I lost interest and it didn't rush and lose the delicate tension. The last third I almost felt like maybe the original script was changed? It took me out of the movie a bit hence my rating coming down to a 7. It was not bad by any means, I still enjoyed it. I would have preferred an ending that kept in tone with the first 2/3. I actually think that Spider One created a solid movie though. I actually would love to see him explore other genres, I think he could create an interesting body of work.

Went into this super excited. From the first time you saw Orlok's moustache, all I could think of was Jim Carrey's doctor Robotnik, and I haven't even seen any of the Sonic movies. I was having a good time up to that point.

I saw this with 3 other people and I came out of it with the most favourable opinion. Visually, it leaned hard on Sleepy Hollow and the Corpse Bride. There were scenes where Ellen looked almost identical to Victoria. Story telling-wise it fell short of both. The timeline was tricky to follow. (How do you get 3 custom coffins in 2 hours in the 1830's?)and characters not aging etc. Parts felt edgy for the sake of being edgy. I dunno. It had some visual striking moments and some moments with good performances but overall, disappointing.
