After living for over two centuries, Augusto Pinochet is a vampire ready to die… but the vultures around him won't let him go without one last bite.
Cinematography
Black-and-white so gorgeous you'll forget you're watching monsters eat people.
Direction
Larraín weaponizes beauty against you. It's uncomfortable. It's the point.
Acting
Vadell makes fascism look exhausting, which is somehow worse than scary.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jaime Vadell played Pinochet in the 2000s TV series 'Los 80'; Larraín specifically cast him for this full-circle moment.
The film's vampire mythology deliberately echoes Chilean aristocracy's actual obsession with European 'purity' and bloodlines. The monsters aren't subtle.
