watched that for the first time in the cinema like a month or so ago, its insane they tried to remake a movie that seems to only works entirely within the context of the 70s but i guess they kept trying that with the exorcist as well

it didn't help that the performances in the remake were much worse lol

I hadn't seen Bram Stoker's Dracula before but I'd heard good things about it (Keanu Reeves' performance aside). The cinematography, score, costumes, set design, makeup, and special effects were sumptuous to say the least. I love how Dracula's castle resembled a man in a seated position, as a neat visual metaphor for his immortality. Oldman's performance was eminently good; he really played it to the hilt and had a lot of fun in the role. The atmosphere was eerie and disturbing. Some editing was a little too frenetic and I wish the camera had lingered a little longer (there was a shot of Dracula buried in earth with blood trickling from his mouth that I really enjoyed but the cut to another scene was too quick). Overall, a beautiful film whose flaws (some of the acting, editing, pacing here and there) don't diminish its power.

I also rewatched Candyman and The Thing. Tony Todd is always a delight (he plays a suave, charming, sympathetic, but terrifying villain very well) and the scene with all those drat bees still pops up in my head from time to time. As for The Thing, it's still my favorite body horror movie. I can't praise it enough
