Awesome cinematography, an entertaining gothic horror film aft a long time.

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2016)

I first saw this twice in New Excelsior theatre in South Mumbai when it released circa 1999.
Revisited it recently on a dvd which I own.
This film is a visual treat n a very entertaining film.
It has a creepy atmosphere, lovely visuals n musical score but a bit less scary.
When the character of Depp first arrives in the village, the scene looked like a painting on canvas.
The decapitations were brutal without spilling blood. The twist is good. There is a terrific action scene towards the end, a well shot chariot chase scene.
Some trivia : Walken's only dialogue in the movie is shhhh n Christopher Lee in a small role.
