I loved the more fey influence to the vampires. So many vampire stories focus on the sexual overtones, and while that can be an appropriate and interesting theme, it gets difficult to do something different. This was different but still felt like the vampires were familiar. Music and storytelling being highlighted as powerful forces felt very fey to me, and pulled in three diverse musical heritages. I also found the hive mind aspect of the vampires leading to a more communal existence for them to be an entertaining new wrinkle.
I have read that Ryan Coogler has done like Tarantino and made the deal with the studio that ownership of the film reverts back to him after 25 years. Obviously he feels strongly about this film.
