/100
The film centers on fear, death, and terrifying Gothic imagery (plague, masked ball, Prince's tyranny) as its core experience. While it blends melodrama and fantasy, horror and dread are fundamental to its identity, not merely incidental.
DREADPICK SUMMARY
Best for viewers looking for a atmosphere-heavy, slow-burning and low-gore horror movie.
