Styria Audience Reviews

Ehirerapp Waste of time
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
a_baron This starts reasonably enough, an academic travels behind the then Iron Curtain to undertake a restoration project on what in the UK would be a listed building. Travelling with him is his daughter, who is a troubled young woman, not the least on account of the razor blade she carries around with her which has been used to, well, just look at the scars on her arm.Then there is Carmilla; she is real enough on account of her escaping from a crashed car, but exactly how real are her nocturnal visitations, and is she a vampire or a witch?The former, 'twould appear, because this is an update of the novel "Carmilla", a precursor to Bram Stoker's "Dracula". Alas, unlike the 2013 adaptation of "The Monkey's Paw", our Gothic lesbian femme fatale does not age well, and is more than a little confusing, as is the end of this extremely disappointing film.
grazimj-612-779884 This is a great, atmospheric psychological thriller. In a time when too many horror films rely on cheap shocks this is a welcome, slow burn into the Gothic and the uncanny.The women in the film would be easy to watch doing anything, but what shines is the tense, Gothic tone they're able to carry. I was skeptical about how Stephen Rhea would play in this, but he and the whole cast carry the mood well. Speaking of the mood. The gloomy visuals and period Soviet block color palette is probably the anchor and the thing I like best about the whole film. Not to mention the rad new-wave goth soundtrack!
s3276169 Styria should have been called "Her-styria". Bad joke but then Styria is a badly made movie. Styria is confused, much like its target audience, clumsily mixing 60's style cinematography, teen angst, awkward psychological elements and vague references to vampire mythology. Its gruesome fare for all the wrong reasons. There are hysterical daddy complexes on offer, issues with mum, rejection of adult authority (surprise, surprise) and a lot more emotional baggage besides. This icky mess is all topped off with a with a bit of fake blood and a beautiful teen vampire temptress. Simply put, Styria is codswallop, that can only appeal to snotty teen girls who wear dark clothes and make up. Three out of ten from me.
monstergail138 After waiting what seemed to be a lifetime to see this film, Styria was finally released on Hulu Plus. It was worth the wait. Everything about this film is designed to challenge your senses. The pacing, the art direction, the cinematography, the score, everything about this film is used to draw you in. The boldness that the filmmakers showed in modernizing such an amazing story was a gamble that easily paid off. If you took the best parts of Murnau's Nosferatu and Fukunaga's Jane Eyre and blended them together, this is the movie that would emerge. This is easily one of the best vampire films of the last 20 years. Sheridan Le Fanu would be proud of this adaptation.
