Review: (#1, C) A tease of a poster design that taps into the darkness and the haunting figure of the narrative but doesn’t make it interesting to look at nor is it enticing to passers-by.

Trailer Rating: B- / B

Review: (#1, B-) There are moments that seem reminiscent of Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which isn’t a bad comparison to make but the lack of definition to the titular villain will ultimately prove to be a poor decision. If preserving the mystery is the goal, then they’ve done quite well in that regard.

(#2, B) A sumptuous beauty is conveyed through this trailer with lots of beautiful affectations along with a few callbacks to prior films like the original silent film Nosferatu and the Francis Ford Coppola effort Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The drained color palette doesn’t appeal but it’s a design that should create some amount of interest in the viewing public.

Oscar Prospects:

Robert Eggers has been on the verge of Academy consideration for some time and this period horror film based on a classic vampire character could be the breakthrough he’s been looking for.
