If you seen one Nosferatu movie you seen them all, the new one is basically the same as all the others but it’s beautifully done

To me horror movie of the year and no I won’t watch it again. I said it because I didn’t care for the ending. It wasn’t fulfilling for me but I hear it it’s true to the tale so that’s what’s up. Everyone acted their ass off.

Herzog still has the best Nosferatu adaptation. You can't beat fine ass Isabelle Adjani and the amazing Popol Vuh score
This was solid, although I wasn’t blown away by it. What sets Eggers’ films like ‘The Witch’ or ‘The Lighthouse’ apart for me is how much they don’t play by the book. This one comes across pretty straightforward in what it’s presenting. I miss that.
I do hope that fakkit Sam Levinson and Abel pay this a watch eventually and realize how much they wasted Lily. She kills it here.
I also like how Dafoe can play Weird Guy #11 at this point of his career and still find a way to get a good performance out of it. There’s a few scenes that came across as stagey though, and particularly with his character. Some narration that just was not needed, IMO.
I’m a sucker for a great atmosphere and this one nails that gothic tone. Probably the biggest thing that popped out to me, next to Lily’s performance. Was more spooked by the impending sense of dread that lurked throughout the film more-so than Orlok’s actions.

Was not expecting the Ned Flanders stache on Orlok.
His appearance and voice takes a while for me to adjust to, but I liked that the movie made his look distinct from his past iterations.
The OG shot of Orlok creepin’ up them stairs had me like

Just comes down to personal preference i guess. This doesn't follow the book and left out some of my favorite parts. Also when it comes to Eggers I expect a little more I guess but it's a basic story.
Idk
I feel like it was always going to struggle to out do Herzog's version in my mind, so I'll have to just keep my boomer ass opinion to myself.
But when I saw Depp doing the exorcist contortioning, I kinda said nah fukk that, and checked out.
Really enjoyed a lot of the beginning.

Couldn’t put into words how I was feeling coming out of the screening. This sums it up really well. It’s far from a bad movie, I’m really glad we ended up getting it, but I do hope Eggers makes a return to a smaller scale in his next entry and tackles a new, original story.
“Nosferatu” Review: Robert Eggers Takes on Dracula
The director Robert Eggers dares you to feel seduced in his take on the classic vampire tale, starring Bill Skarsgard and Lily Rose Depp.www.nytimes.com
Wesley Morris review is funny
You really feel the gathering dread. But there are snags. Anybody trying to adapt even an adaptation of what, in Stoker’s telling, is ultimately a series of letters and diary entries, faces steep challenges in the character department. You’re stuck with all these Victorian normies, wallflowers. The actors playing them — including Aaron Taylor Johnson and Emma Corrin — drift around what ultimately is a costume drama that’s compelling only when it’s under assault.
This has always been true in every adaptation

Skaarsgard has a huge bulbus ahh head

We're on the blood path now
. Y'all are all over the place. The Witch and The Northman were both great films, but I put the Northman above the Witch, and I thought Skarsgard was the best part of that movie. I'll have to just see this myself lol
