{"title": "Is Dracula 2025 the ultimate Luc Besson film?", "timestamp": 1770932648.923005, "description": "Just a year ago we had [Nosferatu](/reviews/director_of_nosferatu___2024___needs_to_calm_down_with_the_von_trierian_technique_or_i_will_not_trust_him_anymore) by [Robert Eggers](). A truly horrid type of a horror film, based on the story of Dracula. A real cinematic treat for the fans of horror. But then suddenly in 2025 [Luc Besson]() was just like... \"Hey, I also made a *Dracula* movie\". At first I was skeptical about it. Why would Luc Besson care about some horror tale? But after finally seeing it I must tell: This movie has more to do with [Guillermo del Toro]()'s [Frankenstein](/reviews/frankenstein_2025_is..._wow..._just_wow_) than Nosferatu. And I am not just talking about [Christoph Waltz]() here...", "author": {"avatar": "https://blenderdumbass.org/pictures/favicon.png", "bio": "Aka: J.Y. Amihud.
