This Picture Is Freaking Me Out

.

The above is a computer rendering of a scene from Dario Argento's Dracula 3D, and it is freaking me out. This website has several behind-the-scenes pictures, mostly of the sets, but hidden there in the middle was the above shot laying in wait for my nightmares and it's just so uncanny and weird it really got to me the longer I stared at it. I think it's because I thought they were real people at first and they just seemed so off, ya know? It's like a Tool video. Anyway if the movie itself can harness that much weirdness for an any period of time it will be a thousand times more successful than anything Argento has made in twenty years. Oh and here's another shot from that website because mmmmm Thomas Kretschmann.

It looks totally ripped off from Murnau's "Nosferatu." Or almost any German Expressionist silent. Yawn...
