[@elevenseven-yq4vu]

3 out of 3 movies Eggers has made before are nothing short of masterpieces. This one is his first remake of sorts. I hope it's not a sell-out. After "The Witch" and "The Lighthouse" both being stellar in their own special way of combining period piece, psychological thriller and mythological horror, I became apprehensive when a trailer for "The Northman" made it look like he had taken on a mercenary project jumping on the mainstream bandwagon of the recent viking hype. Only to find out that my pessimism was unfounded when this third weird, precious, excentric piece of eggerism hit the cinema and turned out to be yet another raw yet intelligent work of visual narrative art with an indie vibe but a bigger budget. I can hardly wait to see "Nosferatu" at the theatre.

[@freek931]

I absolutely loved the way the terror of being in the presence of pure evil was portrayed. The quick cuts in orlocks castle to represent the loss of time thomas experienced due to being under a trance by orlock was SO good. Not to mention bill skarsgaards voice as nosferatu was INSANE.

[@dntm123]

Were Eggers' other movies all original? Because that would make this his first adapted project as Nosferatu is technically a version Dracula.

[@elevenseven-yq4vu]

His movies hitherto were all original scripts, but the basic events were not entirely new: The VVitch draws from New England witch trials; The Lighthouse draws from historical events involving the death of a lighthouse keeper under unclear circumstances; and The Northman draws from elements of Hamlet. Yet, all stories, as they play out, are original ones, be it the characters, the plot, or how their main themes interlock. The common approach to all three films, although these widely differ from each other in visual style, is Eggers' unique amalgamation of costume drama, character study, psychological thriller, existential dread and mythological horror, where all of these elements inform each other and are pretty consistently displaying a zeitgeist and mindset where the borders between subjective reality, subconscious symbolism, religious superstition, individual madness and/or supernatural interference shift or blur. "Uncanny" is the adjective that comes to mind most starkly in Robert Eggers' cinematic universe.

[@collinsmcrae]

Well, not only that but it clearly wouldn’t be an original anyway because it’s a remake, so to speak.

[@GeographRick]

I just saw it yesterday. Not my favorite vampire movie, but it's up there. I like the inspiration from the silent film over 100 years ago. It properly feels like old school gothic horror. The acting was fantastic.

[@rm1172]

It’s worth seeing. Especially if you’ve seen the previous versions, particularly the original. Saw it last night and while the atmosphere is chilling, the visuals didn’t quite live up to what I kept hearing. Probably because every shot is so tight. The pacing of scenes seems to get faster as the movie progresses which creates a sense of urgency and panic which mirrors the plot. Was nearly impossible to understand count orlok. Thought the cast was chosen well. Everything considered it felt like it should have been truly epic but somehow all these great individual pieces didnt seem to come together. Something was missing for me and I cant quite put my finger on it. If anyone feels the same way lmk what your thoughts are

[@jp7963]

Genuine question: Why has no one ever made a truly faithful cinematic version of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel? The BBC come closest with their 1977 TV version but although the plot is close none of the characters look like Stoker's original creations. I guess Coppola's 1992 version is second but despite its title it veers very far off the original path.

As a kid, even seeing commercials with a shot of the original Nosferatu scared me because the creature design was so striking. I almost nodded off in the theater a couple of times. It should also be noted that me, my friends, and the people behind us all laughed when the movie ended because we were like "wtf, thats it?" which is not the reaction a movie like this should get

Finally came out here in the UK yesterday (New Year’s Day). Despite being nearly spoiled with hearing his voice in clips featured on talk shows (Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert) and being spoilt on Instagram (was simply searching for someone and a reel of his face popped up), I was still able to very much enjoy Bill Skarsgård’s performance as Count Orlok. Probably my second favourite Robert Eggers film after ‘The Lighthouse’ but I’ve been a fan of his entire filmography, and hopefully will get more on the way

[@adriandoom7863]

*SPOILERS IN REGARDS TO THE COUNT HIMSELF* I LOVED Bill’s portrayal of Orlock. I know the character basically originated as a bootleg Dracula, but I appreciate how this depiction of Orlock was vaguely reminiscent of the actual Vlad the Impaler - especially with the mustache. All the more confirmed by the fact that Eggers literally wanted to depict him as a “dead Hungarian noble”. It’s perfect.

[@joemoriarty933]

Your lighting looks great here Chris

[@Sodchucker]

Agreed!

[@Pewpewpew182]

Regardless of the review …… looking forward to seeing this in the theater

[@veeseee128]

BTW William Defoe also played Nasferatu.

[@anubusx]

Shadow Of The Vampire.

[@starlit_hawser11]

All of the elements were there to make a great movie, but I left the theatre feeling underwhelmed. It did nothing for me. The best scene was the carriage sequence, in which Eggers was able to masterfully depict a dreamlike quality to the proceedings. Everything else left me feeling cold and disinterested.

[@kaisusandberg9177]

I really liked the movie! Sadly I had hard time finding a friend to go to see the movie with bc somehow everyone thinks nosferatu is super scary but it really wasn’t! It had premiere in here yesterday when I went to see it and the theatre wasn’t even full. Now I’m thinking that maybe the marketing failed a bit because ppl won’t go and see the film bc they think It’ll be too scary. I think it was beautiful, interesting and entertaining.

[@DevaNeeramanii]

I already told my family that I'll be ducking out early on the traditional Christmas Dinner because I have a date with a Count Orlok.

[@benwasserman8223]

Robert Eggers is probably our best horror director working now outside Jordan Peele. Very excited to see how this Nosferatu compares to the original and Herzog versions.

[@redadamearth]

Dude, Jordan Peele shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath. He hasn't made a good film since "Get Out" and even that wasn't "scary" at all and was just a thriller with comedic elements. And "Us" and "Nope" were just embarrassingly bad. Peele's reputation as a "horror" director has evaporated quicker than Shyamalan's did.

[@kingslayer2999]

​@redadamearth Recently watched Get Out for first time and it was Garbage and absolutely Stupid. Overhyped to the highest order and nothing scary or original about it

[@ClickKlack43]

Ooooooooooh scary white petiole. Boo. 😂 He’s terrible.

[@johnnybronco9118]

Jordan Peele is the most overrated horror movie director in today's time. They could announce he was going to direct a movie coming out three years for now and Critics would rave for it.

[@LuisOliva95]

I think you miswrote Ari Aster

[@sinisterproductions2]

Nosferatu suffers the same thing that Brams/Cappola versions- pacing . Both films lose me 3/4 of the way thru out . Nosferatu is brilliantly shot and is awesome for it set pieces cinematography and time period . More Orlock would have been great .

[@lucarosati1234]

I am going to see it this weekend, but wait.... "You need to support a movie like that whenever it's in theaters." You nailed the point. Eggers is one of my favorite filmmakers, too, and hopefully his creative crusade will go on!

[@Eckythump]

I saw the movie today. I avoided watching any reviews because I wanted to go in blind. I was surprised when the credits rolled to see that Orlock was played by Bill Skarsgard. I did not pick him at all. Superbly crafted film.

[@jerrypaulwhite]

Is it worth it? I’m sick of seeing people put out bad movies

[@Ihadthismate]

The way you described it, sounded a lot like Copalla’s Dracula. Rewatched it recently, MUCH better than people make it out to be. I understand why people say it isn’t scary but it scared me at times, however the atmosphere and general wafting uneasy terror is enough for me to be scared. Incredibly mastery in visual effects too.

[@carlhungus2521]

wonderful movie that is kicked in the nuts by Reeves and Ryders really bad acting

[@SuperSecretAgentNein]

@@carlhungus2521was gonna say the same thing. Ryder I think can have range when she doesn’t phone it in, but Keanu is hopeless. I say this as a fan of the guy! I’ve just never seen him extend out of his extremely limited range.

[@Harold.Richard]

Seems to have shades of Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula. Probably none of the over the top stuff, but definitely the dark gothic stuff. The hand shadow going over the town. Can’t wait to see it.

[@4G63Tx]

Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula is still my all time favorite vampire movie. For me it’s the gold standard, and ever since I have not been satisfied with any new take on the story. This film finally looks to be a worthy successor or counterpart to Coppola’s classic

[@SuperSecretAgentNein]

It makes sense since these are all *kinda* the same story, but this feels (to me) mostly just inspired by the original film, with a Count Orlock redesigned to look like the original literary description of Dracula. With that said it’s been decades since I’ve seen Copplla’s film, I just remember being annoyed at Keanu’s “acting” (LOVE Keanu but that man does not have range) and if I remember correctly a weirdly happy ending? As in redemptive for Dracula? Am I remembering this correctly?

[@Wolfer1985]

Saw the movie two weeks ago, really one of the best movies of the year for me, the way I’d describe it is like a very very dark poem made into a movie, with just some jump scares here and there, but this is pure dark poetry by Eggers, highly recommend it.

[@MrSloika]

The original film wasn't Hollywood slasher scary either. Have a look at the original, it's like Murnau filmed one of his nightmares.

[@jmurr1924]

Skarsgard’s height is one of the better and more underrated feats of the casting. That 6’4” frame gives him the menacing and threatening look of towering over others. Almost forgot it was him until I saw the credits.

[@gidthaillest]

Honestly I thought it was pretty scary, the soundtrack like most good horror is rlly what did it every time orlock showed up man. Best part was when he first gets to the castle and orlock is pouring the wine n it kinda has him teleporting or moving insanely fast I thought that was a really neat detail

[@Cluver_03]

My theater was COMPLETELY sold out tonight. Was very happy for Robert Eggers. Worth the wait!

[@MrFredstt]

I haven't been hyped for a movie like this in a long time

[@bts-xn5tg]

Big Eggers fan here,but sorry to say he turned the Lord of darkness into an HIV infected patient with COPD pneumonia who is suffering from complications of corticosteroids.Coppolas version or even the Demeter were much better than this wannabe gothic story😢

[@LordHypnos4]

I'm wondering which of Eggers movies is your favorite

[@hafssol82]

Would love if you talked about Herzhogs Nosferatu as well

[@InnocentBirdwingButterfl-mh8ru]

Who was flickering the lights?

[@themascotwizard5267]

Nosferatu! :-)

[@JohnnyWordSmith]

It is gorgeous…but it is not good. It feels like a movie in the style of Eggers without being on his level. I loved The Lighthouse. The dialogue is much flatter here though. Not too many payoffs, wasn’t really cheering for anyone. Thomas is ill most of the time and therefore ineffective as a hero. This was not as thrilling or dreadful in the way the witch was. I saw this in a packed theater and the vibe was not good.

[@vegetasolo1221]

Best Actress for Lily Rose-Depp Academy Awards

[@looseassociation]

Agreed

[@7377hobbs]

The voice of Count Orlock was Amazing! The actors are so talented in this film. However, I was disappointed Count Orlock was not scarier. I didn't even see fangs, and the big mustache was just ridiculous. It seemed to basically copy Bram Stokers Dracula storyline. There were about 30 minutes of unnecessary drama scenes that should have been cut out. There should have been more action scenes. I'd say that a 4 out of 10 rating is realistic.

[@imapisces1]

I agree on all that you said on the quality of cinematography and acting, BUT...it was slow moving and the build up was a let down. Left me a bit empty.

[@karelsmith-sx4qn]

I must say I'm not familiar with "Nosferatu" in any way apart from an old Spongebob gag. But it had me the second Robert Eggers name appeared, and I'm all for a good and gothic vampire movie.

[@BullyMaguire4ever]

Nosferatu 1922 is the first vampire movie, and an important part of early cinematic history.

[@elevenseven-yq4vu]

​@@BullyMaguire4everYeah, still one of the best vampire movies, one of the best horror movies, one of the best black and white movies, one of the best silent movies, and also one of the best overall movies - not just as a cornerstone and touchstone of cinema history. The remake by Herzog of Murnau's classic movie, made in the nineteenseventies, is also a great adaptation.

[@Hattori_Hanzō_侍]

I love the "The" trilogy. Can't wait for this.

[@theentertainist3634]

Never clicked a video so quick
