- TriviaIn a 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Pablo Larraín spoke about the origin of the idea of vampires making blood smoothies: "Well, it's a joke. I don't know ... every time I go to L.A., there are all these people making smoothies out of anything and everything. (Laughs.) And that became a fashion everywhere - it spread from California to everywhere. So, we thought that instead of having the vampires do the classical neck bite and sucking the blood and all that, this smoothie thing would be a funny idea and an interesting political comment, too - to open the chest of someone and take out their heart and put it into a blender. You know, the vampires are very eloquent and particular in their motivations."
- GoofsMarie Antoinette's body was buried in a pit, not a tomb. After the revolution, her body was unearthed, identified, and then reburied in a coffin in the basement of St. Denis basilica.

Featured review
Very good movie. Probably one of the best "vampire" movies I have seen. Don't expect your normal hack and slash vampire stuff. Quite more sophisticated plot than that. You never know where the movie is headed. Thumbs up.
The black and white cinematography is excellent. The classical music score is excellent. Acting is top notch.
The plot keeps delivering new angles on a politically driven baseline. Key historical figures enter into the plot. I can be certain I didn't get all of the Chilean political references which are buried here.
The humor is very dry and subtle throughout. Just another ingredient that keeps things interesting.
