Feels like a walk under dark rainy weather, gloomy but beautiful

Rating: 7/10 (23 April 2020)

This film has one of the best atmosphere creation of all time. The dark atmosphere of the 70's Maine couldn't be made more aesthetically magical and pleasing. It also has one of my favorite intros in cinema history. It makes me feel nostalgic even though I haven't lived through those times.
There are scenes which scared me and sequences which made me laugh.
Barnabas is portrayed really wickedly and out of that time, and Carolyn's character is so intriguing yet beautiful.
While some people say they didn't like it because of the script, I see this film as a Tim Burton piece, as if it is a painting. He creates a world with life in it, and the film lives and speaks for itself.
This is the first film I watch whenever I need my mind to be somewhere else and live in a different time.
And when I hear the Moody Blues say "Nights In White Satin, never reaching the end", I know I'm about to start a journey which feels like a walk under dark rainy weather, gloomy and dark yet cinematically and aesthetically beautiful.
