The Essex Serpent (2022)

Finally getting to this. Excellent period monster tale. Slowly building the world w/plenty of fantastic acting from Claire Danes, Hiddleston & cast, very eerie yet gorgeous visuals & music add to the great storytelling. If you like old Victorian or gothic horror, this emulates it quite well with the themes of a supposed rogue serpent who has surfaced to terrorize the town of Essex in England where a wealthy recent widow & the town vicar try to ease the growing fear & paranoia of the locals. What could possibly go wrong?
