I love how Eggers went for a more "accurate" look and tried to incorporate Orlok's original features - like sharp front teeth, elf like ears and long fingernails - as result of body decay.

Just unsubbed because you spoiled the movie for me by showing his design. Moron.

This was a horrible design for orlock in my eyes The sec the stache was finally shown I was instantly takin out of my seat and just didn’t like it at all

The mustache 😂😂

I have seen historical art that is purported to depict Vlad the Impaler's father. He is either bald or has his head shaved. I don't remember seeing a top knot. If you look up videos of practitioners of traditional Russian and Ukrainian Cossack shashka sword fighting you will see some with the old timey top knot hair style and mustache like Orlok.

So why wasn't this movie just called "DRACULA" since Nosferatu isn't in it.

im going to be completely honest but i absolutely HATE this version of Nosferatu. He looks more like a zombie than a vampire and he isn't nearly rat like enough like where are his fangs???? I understand that this is closer to the description of Dracula in the book but after 100 years i think its safe to say that Nosferatu and the imagery around it has split from the original Dracula novel enough to be its own thing. The film overall was such as disappointment to me.

These were so fun! It's funny bc we still have our Christmas tree up and I think the heavy star fell off on the top.... but the shadow my tree gives scared the heck out of me one evening.... it looks EXACTLY like his costume... really creepy, but also cool!

Skarsgards voice reminded me of the narrator at the start of the Northman

I though You'd mention colapsing nose. Also a nice touch.

One aspect I would’ve changed is the eyes. I would’ve made them scarier. Completely absent of any humanity in regards to the eyes

I love the little horror themed retro room at 16:56 absolutely amazing to add to any collection 😍

The problem is, a Transylvanian nobleman does not look like a monster. This visual depiction might be historically accurate, but that does not make it terrifying. I did not find this film scary or horrific in the least. This is a gothic romantic drama, nothing more.

I don't have any issues with the mustache, but I do think it's unfair to say that those who don't like it "don't understand." It comes across as a bit superior. Some people just aren't concerned with "historical accuracy" and "realism" when it comes to vampire movies.

6:17 Jason Statham 😅

One of the good points that i like from the makeup, Chris is that the ears being chewed up by rats like that and it shaped into classic dracula pointy ears we all know....just add another layer of lore to it

It's a pretty cool suit

"YOU MUST BOOoonce on IT, CRAZZZY STyllle."

My one issue with his whole look is that his eyes are sooo normal looking😢 I wish they would’ve given him some cataracts / milky eye contact kinda like that eye shot we saw in the trailers and his dead body at the end... coz if they were white eggers could’ve had his eyes do eye shine in the shadows and for those silhouette shots in his castle. Coz his eyes are far too normal throughout the film compared to the rest of his rotting body.

Totally love how Egers gave us a very fresh, original and visually compelling new pop culture character rooted deeply into tradition. Much better and different than seeying the same, exhausted vampire tropes or recreating the original look in a sterile manner. Skarsgard’s amazing performance really brought the character to (undead lol) life and gave him so much bleak charisma and personality.

I swear I had a Batman toy as a kid that looked just like that Arctic suit

7:48 Everything about this gives me the feeling of him being a vulture, which suits his character quite a bit

The makeup and look of Orlok is a damn masterpiece - However …The one thing we never get a very clear shot of is his teeth! I know from the quick glimpses in the film that they are snarley and jagged but I’d love to see them in detail. He is a vampire after all, and their teeth are a super fascinating component of their otherworldly-ness. But that’s part of the genius of Eggers’ filmmaking style - that almost mundane “matter of fact” realism layered over the supernatural elements in his stories.

As much as I love the film and as great a job as they did with the actual makeup itself, the design of Orlok in this just isn't nearly as scary to me as the other incarnations of the character. The moustache, as much sense as it makes to include, does detract from the scary factor for me, so I get people's complaints. I also think they should have kept the pointy ears. Even his front fangs are gone or obscured. By making all of the changes they did, they essentially just made him look more human.

I have 17 of these collections can u do the top 10 best and prices

Awesome video Chris and I love the look of Count Orlok in this movie. And thank you so much for sharing these photos of the sculpture and the makeup I love the mustache and it fits the actual time-line too.

I really do love how the costume isn't complete with just the costume. You need all the elements of the scene to make it work. It's just so unsettling. But I would like to see a short of Orlok's perspective with Skarsgard actual voice and just wondering why folks are freaking out.

I wasn't sure that was Bill Skarsgard under the makeup. I thought Robert Egger resurrected Rasputin, gave him a shave & haircut, and asked him to be in this vampire movie.

how do you feel about the werwulf announcement?

Nosferatu was one of the best movies I've seen in years. 10/10 Masterpiece

The design is legitimately perfection, go back to old paintings of Vlad The Impaler…This design is more accurate to old vampire lore than Lugosi.

looks like a zombie version of jim carry's dr robotnik 🤔

Really glad I watched it yesterday when it hit digital. I was able to avoid seeing how he looked before then, but now the floodgates are starting to open with images and behind the scenes stuff.

This is just insane how amazing this make up is. This is the true folk vampire.
