Lyrics
Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining.

It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining,

'til he appeared and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,

for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.



Fall on your knees,

Oh hear the angel voices.

Oh night divine, oh night, that leads to morn.

Fall on your knees,

Oh hear the angel voices.

Oh night divine, oh night, when Christ was born.

Oh night, oh holy night, oh night divine.

I love how you've gone for a Nosferatu look with this -- it makes the move look ten times better than I remember it being.

[settiai]

You did a wonderful job on this.

[larissabernstein]

Wow, just wow. I admit I don't even know the source or its fandom, and maybe I should check it out. But then... after seeing your brilliant vid, I am really afraid that the movie itself might not do justice to it.
*doffing my hat in awe*

[starlady]

Really unusual song choice, and you made it work perfectly. The black and white looks great.

[aris_tgd]

Wow, I really enjoyed that! Good choice on the video filters, and I really like the song choice and the editing. Lovely! I love this ridiculous movie so much and this is a really sleek take on it.

[actiaslunaris]

Gorgeously atmospheric and with an excellent choice of song, highlighting the strangeness of it all.

[skygiants]

Oh my god, I love that this vid actually succeeds in taking this ridiculous movie COMPLETELY SERIOUSLY until the amazing wolfout at the end. Hats off to you, vidder.

[kuwdora]

this is an amazing choice to go black and white with the source. that with the bastille song you chose makes it so creepy and conveys so much about the mood. LOVING THE SLASH, too, but this was wonderfully paced. so good!

[sanguinity]

That was amazingly and wonderfully jacked up, and I love all the choices you made here, from the heavy atmospherics to the sacreligiousness to the... ending.

(I have never seen this film, I had no idea that was coming, WELL PLAYED.)

[alba17]

Oh my god, that's amazing. I absolutely love it. Gorgeous.

[franzeska]

I really, really wanted this movie to be good. I really did. I remember sitting in the theater in Japan going "Seriously?"

Thank you for this vid, which not only uses a completely unexpected and wonderful choice of music but also makes the movie look like the movie that was in my head.

[deirdre_c]

The black and white made this 100x better than the movie itself! And the way you make the action flow was wonderful. Loved it!

[leanwellback]

Wow, this movie looks so much classier in black and white! I love that choice, it works so well with the music. The bit where the sun comes up behind Van Helsing on that first 'fall on your knees' was gorgeous. Brilliant editing!

[felis]

AWESOME. So ridiculous and atmospheric at once, I love it. Such a unique song choice, the editing is wonderful with the music cues and the movement (the moment when the doors open, epic), and the black and white really works.
