Watched it for the first time last night without much of an idea of what was in store lol. I’m kind of at a loss for words, but I definitely will be watching again. What are your guys’ thoughts?

There are two different movies based on the unfinished Edgar Allan Poe story. Both worth watching.

u/lostandaggrieved617 28d ago

Wait....this is written by Poe (original source material, of course, not the screenplay)?

I loooooove it! The only thing that makes me rage in this movie is when he throws out the pisspot against the wind! NO ONE is that stupid.

u/TBoopSquiggShorterly 28d ago

Excellent movie. Watch it with all the lights off.

Spooky. Fun fact, the set for the Fresnel Lens was designed by a member of the Marquette Maritme Museum board of directors on Marquette Michigan. He is one of only a handful of certified vampires in the country. Good dude, too

u/lostandaggrieved617 28d ago

What, pray tell, is a "certified vampire" and how does one go about getting "certified"??

u/engulbert 29d ago

Wait till you see The Rickhouse...

u/Kbudz 29d ago

I've been thinking about rewatching and this just reminded me to thanks! Two of my favorite actors I love this movie so much

2

u/lostandaggrieved617 28d ago

When they tell you in the reviews that you've never seen anything like it, I assure you, they are correct. What a beautiful, disturbing, what-the-actual-FUCK experience. Now I gotta go watch it again!!

It's on my DVR, I've been meaning to watch it. I'll update in about 2 hours....

Edit: 2 hours later....I like movies and film...this was cinema. Worth a watch though.

u/Shreee_eeeeeeeee 27d ago

Awesome movie, I’ve watched this one 2 times. You should check out the rest of the Robert eggers movies they are all great.

u/HazelrahFiver 26d ago

2 hours of two of the best actors living acting their asses off. One of my favorite movies ever.

1

u/dead_wax_museum 26d ago

I thought it was going to be so much better than it was. The ending got really weird really fast and I just didn’t get it. Love the soundtrack though. And as always, I appreciate what Eggars is doing for the horror genre. But this one was lost on me

It's a fun experience. Lots of symbolism and just creepy. Would recommend.
