Just a bleak and depressing take on vampirism

Harrowing, bleak, depressing and suffocating, MHCBUYTIT is an interesting spin on the formulaic vampire genre. Instead of the usual played out tropes of fangs, garlic necklaces and wooden stakes, MHCBUYTIT tackles the affliction as a serious terminal illness effecting the youngest of three siblings, shifting the main focus to the strain it places on this struggling family unit and the fractures it opens in their bonds. While not enjoyable viewing, My Heart will definitely stick with you if you let it in, but don't be surprised when it sucks you dry of joy and happiness. Fans of drama heavy movies with a horror backdrop (like Hereditary and Saint Maud) will be well catered for here, but traditional horror fans may struggle with the moody, slowburn presentation on display. Good stuff, just lacking that final layer of metaphor to push it up to the higher scores for me.

Heartbreaking horror drama using vampirism as a terminal illness that need to be taken care of and how it's taking physical and emotional toll on family members. While it has enough amount of violence and blood, the film focuses on the struggle the older brother and the sister face, how they deal with murders on a daily basis, the guilt, the desperate feeling to escape their situation and free themselves and the loneliness felt by the younger brother. The acting from all three leads is exceptional. It's slow for sure but very hypnotic and emotionally draining. Wonderfully shot and scored throughout. This is definitely going to stick with me. Very easy to recommend this because it's that good!

A different kind of vampire movie. A brother and sister do what they can to care for their ‘vampire’ brother. A sad but thought provoking tale. Recommended.
