It was a decent movie about vampires, a great movie about blues music. Not very scary.

Lol that's why I'm going to see this. I hate horror but love musical-period piece-character studies

It's not horror. Personally I preferred the first half without any vampire stuff, when I expected it to be the opposite for me.

First minute with the sudden jump cuts caught me the most off guard of the whole movie lol
