It’s all
very good looking. Cinematography, costumes, set design. And while it’s often
interesting to watch the silly antics of medieval priesthood, and the two
temporal planes (present and the middle ages) is a nice gesture.
However,
there’s not much narrative. Pretty much nothing happens, making the film quite
forgettable. In fact, what I’ll remember will be having to stop myself from
commenting out loud: “But… if she
weighs the same as a duck, she’s made of wood. And therefore….” hoping
to get an audience response.
The
promised vampires eventually show up, if you were wondering. It’s just that
they might as well hadn’t.
