The undead killer soon embarks on a bloody rampage to retrieve the stolen locket, methodically slaughtering anyone who gets in his way.

My third most anticipated movie of the year behind Nosferatu and Longlegs. Ive seen both great and awful reviews of the movie and I know a movie that follows the killer instead of the victims is a new concept. I just cant wait to see the result, and hopefully we might have a new iconic figure in horror history.

Saw it yesterday. Loved every minute of it. I know people won’t like the pacing of it, but I enjoyed it. It’s good to see horror directors think outside of the box. Plus, the kills are pretty impressive. Given the amount of horsesh#t out right now and pretty much all year, it was good seeing a movie that was outside of the normal tripe.

follows the killer

I'm sure it's not a similar story at all (lol), but for some reason the loose concept and those images remind me of Timecrimes, circa 2007.

BTW, as an aside, Timecrimes is a low budget, dark sci-fi thriller. If you have any interest in that description at all, just watch it for free on tubi (subtitled). Do not watch the trailer, and don't research it, because you can easily spoil the entire movie.

Not to hijack your topic, but I hadn't heard about this one until you mentioned it. I love a vampire movie, and I imagine Bill Skarsgard and Willem Dafoe will make it a good one.
