Watchable
I enjoyed this more than some Dracula adaptations. Decently-paced throughout, with typical Eggers style but an unfortunately high amount of jumpscares.
I couldn't detect much agenda other than some feminist overtures (recurrent themes of men doubting the female lead, and depictions of confining corsets), but there could be some buried subversive themes.

+ it’s also dark and depressing throughout, and perhaps has a cynical downer ending. It has both anti-traditional and anti-science themes simultaneously? For what that’s worth
The important thing is that you know what you’re getting into. It’s a horror movie in 2024, with all that implies.
