I thought Y2K was decent. I’m a 90s child and I thought it had potential be to really good, but it falls off after the first act and becomes a typical survival film with some meh characters.

i don’t know why they killed off the fat guy early. The character coulda helped carry the rest of the movie because he was funny and he coulda pushed the friend even more. In fact, he needed to be in the rest of the movie to balance the meh main character. Instead we’re stuck with a lost tomboy and poser underground rap guy that was cringe. :stopitslime:

Fred Durst was unexpected. When he introduces himself to the crowd at the school and they gave him the :camby: treatment. :heh:

The Thong Song needs to make a comeback. song still hits. :whew:

Robert Eggers shoots films beautifully, captures the time periods perfectly, and draws out incredible performances from basically every actor he selects...you can tell he made Nosferatu with a genuine love for the original film. I wouldn't be shocked if it becomes a definitive Dracula story for generations too young to recall/appreciate Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).

But I feel like some of Eggers' flaws have gotten more pronounced with each movie...at least the issues I have with his movies. I love a good slow burn, but this really had a bit of drag to it. Way too much is happening in the world of Nosferatu for the film to feel so uneventful in places.

Despite that, it feels like key scenes must have been left on the cutting room floor at times. So, characters' deteriorating states kinda pop up out of nowhere. I'm worried that some character choices only made sense because I'm familiar with the source material rather than the film earning the switch-ups. I got this exact disjointed vibe from the Northman. Character development skips a few steps. But that's a sacrifice that allows Eggers to plot out damn near every scene like its own short film.

It's a good movie, beautifully shot. But I don't think Eggers has come close to topping the Witch, and I'm not sure that I'll rate this above the Lighthouse upon rewatching them side-by-side.

Currently watching Night of the Demons. Passed the 45 minute mark and no real horror has happened. Was expecting some killer deaths after the first act break, but nope. :unimpressed:

Edit: took 53 minutes for something decent to happen. :childplease:

Finished. It’s ok. Wouldn’t watch again.
