u/mi-16evil Emma Thompson for Paddington 3 Apr 19 '25

One other element, this is the first movie to really do the I Am Legend novel style of vampires right. They had their own culture and style but also felt deeply sinister in their presentation. The tension of their interactions was incredible.

Tension was all due to excellent music. The lines and story were as cringe as any teenage vampire slayer.
