Sohh i decided to Start watching the original nosferatu.
After once again.
That got damn murdoch fsmily. Has enticed me to flirt with the dark side and reload tubi on my tv.

Sohh in this flirtation. To again delve back into.
the misappropriation heavy handed based world of the murdoch's, formerly of fox.

Where once again they will monetize and misappropriate the black community in a cop and blow fashion. Evdient by all the public access straight to bootleg style hood movies.
they service as an outlet.

I started searching the site. For the older Dracula. Or nineties Keanu socalled trash version. That i believe I have on vhs possibly. If I remember right. I just never watched it. Since people always said it was huff. Plus I never saw the original. To have a point of reference. So once I saw nosferatu, the original was on tubi.
I said...let's go back.
all the way back. Way back. Back into time...



To give me a leg up. So I could understand. Just what the fukk was going on in this vampire movie. Especially this new nosferatu movie. As one,... I never saw the Keanu flop versions from the nineties. Or any other remake version made after the original. As this new version lacks such clarity.
Where the new version gets lost in Eggers night time slash meets misty scenes. When his other movies brilliantly navigated, what could have been a lack of clarity. When those films had a thin small line. between being clear. To just a severe lack of clarity.

Where i have to say. It was getting too late. Before i turned it off. So that spooky shyt not running while i was sleep.
All I have to say. Is that the little I started with. Is vastly superior to what i could gather from this new Eggers version. The older version everything is superior. Especially given how old the material is. The score is top tier all time great. That was the first thing. That caught me as having this wow factor. The next thing that caught me about the older version. Is it maybe a silent movie. Yet, in that...the og sets up with superiority.
a story. The other film with new technology.
just can not seem to match. As well as the simplicity of story. As well as illustrating incredible clarity.
in a silent movie.


From what I have seen. If I was a Hollywood exec. I would never have green lit this remake. As it is obvious. It is kinda. A Pipe dream to think you could remake this film.

From what I saw. They need to make a new vampire.
As I do not believe. From what I saw. That Hollywood is capable of remaking this at all.

Like I only made it to the point. Where they establish just what happens to kick this off. Yet in that. The older version establishes everything the new one lacks clarity in getting across on film. With hordes of tech. Incomparison to a movie.

from before the slaves were free I believe. Hollywood needs to just leave this film alone.
As this new version is like some young kid went in the attic. Then found their older relatives heman and gi Joe. Then tries to act like. they know wtf .
those older attic based toys are.


Hollywood needs to leave this alone. From what I saw of the original. I doubt Hollywood could recreate this film. That is how good I found the og to be. For the short time I watched it last night before bed.

Oh and the score to the original.

Is cold as hell.
Like overly dope.

Highly recommended.

As the score is that dope.

Lilly Rose Depp man :wow:

I felt Skarsgard was out of his depth in this. Couldn't hang with the rest of the cast. Which is crazy since his character is the main selling point

It was beautifully shot. If you're into Gothic vibes, it has that 1000%.

The story/plot was ehh. After seeing it in theaters, I might stream it now to see if I feel different.

7.7 imdb usually guarantees an engaging experience.

I watched Carry On off the strength of the imdb score and enjoyed it

A 7.5, But an enjoyable one. Loved the first half and then it depreciated a little. I was looking for a bit more violence probably. Idk something was missing



Shorty got some sex appeal for a plain looking white girl. Make me a demon!! :noah:

The first introduction to Orlock or however you spell it, and Thomas' initial time there was the best part of the film to me, they sold how his presence is madness inducing.

To a degree it feels like it could've had more action, but it's fitting to lack that seeing as the villain is like a force of nature, but also a glitch in that system, so there's nothing anyone else could do much to warrant that.


The minion was a freaking menace though, he gave a classic disgusting performance,

It's a tad boring. In hindsight, it makes little sense for the vampire to call her husband to Transylvania if he already had a link to the wife.

He could've just come over to Germany. Or if they stuck with that plot, they should've had the wife go with the husband as a ploy to get her to his castle.
I think it had to do with 1. Her being married at that point, wherein it seems this iteration Orlock is more of a general demon "I'm guessing he sold his soul at some point" and that's why he needed Thomas to write a contract to allow him access to her, and 2. it also plays on how you have to invite a vampire into your home trope, which is probably why he also got the property purchase set up, I think it's the aspect of ritual performance, he can't just up and yolk like that I'm assuming.
