Verdict on Metamorphosis
Recap
The movie follows a researcher wanting to explore the history of a countess in Hungary. However, he meets the person he was studying and finds himself drawn into fighting the bigger battle going on between the warring sides.
Best Parts
The environment and diving into the history is interesting and helps elevate the darker stuff committed in history. Elsewhere, the performances are solid for the movie.
Worst Parts
This doesn’t do too much new for the bigger idea of vampires from generations before. It has basic horrors but never anything which feels scary and is more action based. This could be a solid enough late-night horror.
Final Thoughts –Metamorphosis is a standard late-night horror movie.
