Safe Return Doubtful

The cinematography is impressive but any sense of mystery is absent; there are no twists here, we know what happens in the end. 

Some films don’t need a remake. Especially this one. Murnau’s silent film, 103 years previously, said it all, pardon the pun. I wonder in 103 more years time which of the films will be remembered more fondly. 

This is ordinary at best, at worst a waste of money. Vampire films these days need to break new ground, like A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night or Let The Right One In, or to be funny, like What We Do In The Shadows.

IMDb score 7.5 / 10 – My score 4 / 10
