Basically, some images from the movie I didn't include in the review, but I liked them just the same. So I will dump them here. God, the women cast in this movie. My, I was quite smitten at times. I guess some might deem some of these important enough to include on the write-up, but I think it is cool to cull images from a film that left an impression with me and give them their own place outside the written word. No harm, no foul.

While a viral virus outbreak seems to be spreading across the internet superhighway, as the film follows a teenage young man biking through a city searching for his love who seems to have been kidnapped in an ice cream van (that has seen better days), we are privy to a series of recorded episodes where characters face incredible, supernatural events. Dante the Great The first tale doesn’t follow the found footage format religiously as the fourth wall of the popular subgenre is broken as pieces of it are shot by a “cinematic camera”.

Feels what the Countess feels. I kind of look at the Westinghouse character as a combination of Harker and Mina. Westinghouse went to see the Countess on business, and her fate is perhaps sealed when she, prior to the visit, had dreamed about her before their first meeting. The stage performance is when Westinghouse is spellbound by the Countess. This event spawned the dreams. The meeting set-up, and the actual face-to-face contact. She is the conquest pu
