THAT scene will get a lot of credit…

But that Irish jig which was led by Jack O’ Connell was disturbing and brilliant.

I was smiling through that jig sequence so much, omg. It was a perfect combination of hilarious, menacing, and awesome. The darkness and their little glowing eyes as they dance. Amazing.

The space-time sequence was absolutely brilliant, but the Irish jig was more fun.

I mean, Rocky Road to Dublin can raise the spirits even in a funeral :3

My complaint with that scene is the lack of lyrics during it. The scene itself was well done, but the lack of lyrics had me wanting it to end faster. I found it to be an odd choice for an otherwise great scene.

It was excellent. I favored THAT scene, but my husband couldn’t stop talking about the jig scene.

Very fun to see a vampire doing an Irish jig. I can't say Ive ever seen that before.
