What's with the delayed opening titles in Gothic font? It's like I'm about to watch a Hammer horror film from the sixties.
The first part of the film, at Oxford, reminds me of Brideshead Revisited, the Et In Arcadia Ego section, where Charles Ryder first meets Sebastian Flyte at Oxford.
The second part, when Ollie arrives at Saltburn, is reminiscent of any Hammer horror film where sexually provocative vampires are involved - think Brides of Dracula. Was the Gothic font in the opening titles foreshadowing this???
After Felix dies the film turns something Stanley Kubrick would make ... Barry Lyndon meets A Clockwork Orange and The Shining.
I'm poking fun though. This was actually a very good film. One that held my attention for the duration, which is rare in these days of streaming entertainment.
