As others have said, great cinematography, especially the tribute to the 1922 film's use of shadows to evoke dread. Some of the dialog delivery was tough for me (Dafoe), but I'm no artist

It shows the annual number of polio cases (in red) and deaths (in green). A sharp decline in both cases and deaths occurs after the introduction of the polio vaccine in 1957, which is marked with an arrow labeled "Vaccine introduced in 1957." The graph illustrates the dramatic impact of vaccination on reducing polio cases and fatalities over time.
Vaccines stopped polio.
